M31 - Extragalactic Nova: M31 2007 6 NGC 1275 - Spiral Galaxy (Seyfert type) NGC 3367 - Spiral Galaxy MPL 2003 EL61 - Kuiper Belt Object / Dwarf Planet
(now known as 136108 Haumea)UGCA 205 - Sextans A, Local Group Galaxy NGC 3122 - Spiral Galaxy NGC 2782 - Spiral Galaxy (Seyfert type) Astrometric & Photometric Monitoring
- U Gem, (dwarf novae)
- HIP 4429 (suspected variable)
- U And, W And (Mira variables)
- Z And, RZ LMi, ER UMa, U Mon (variables)
- KR Aur, SY Cnc, RR Tau,
SU UMa, UX UMa (variables)
- BL Lac (BL Lac blazer)
- NGC 4151 (Seyfert Galaxy)
- 6.3 hr session, largely operated under automated control with remote monitoring - CCD operation of -25 degC (at 75% average cooling). . - main objective was to acquire images ongoing photometric and astrometric monitoring of the selected stars - opportunity was taken to acquire images of 2003 EL61, one of the largest Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs) - More Notes -

CCD Image 5 x 3 min exposure (average combine), 2x2 binning, C Filter Linear brightness scaling 2007-03-15 19:52h UT (#183158-62) |
|
M31 part (Andromeda) - Image Enhanced (mag Limit
+17.5) Neither the original image (above) or the enhanced image (below) show any indication of the nova at it's recorded position (indicated by white circle) This suggests that at 11 days after discovery the nova has now faded to below mag +17.5 |
