. - Evening session (3.9 hrs duration).  - Session operated under semi-automated control, with remote monitoring from indoors computer.   - Ambient Temperature:  2.5 degC minimum - CCD operation -25 degC (at 69% average cooling).   - main objectives of the session were to acquire images selected project stars for ongoing photometric and astrometric analysis, and to take images of selected galaxies in Ursa Major/Draco region. -
