- U Gem (dwarf nova)
- BL Lac (Blazar)
- U And, W And (mira variable)
- RX And, RZ LMi (variables)
- Gliese 412,Groombridge 1618, Groombridge 1830, Lalande 21185, HIP 67593 (Nearby Stars)
- Early morning session (4.7hr), operated under automated control for majority of session.
CCD operation of -25 degC (at 54% average cooling). 
-main objectives were to acquire images of certain selected stars of ongoing photometric and astrometric analysis
-opportunity was also taken to acquire a mosaic image of M42 in Infrared (I) Filter and images of 3 faint comets.
