Session Notes

NGC 4725 - Spiral Galaxy (Herschel I-84)     Photometric Monitoring - Variables   U Gem, AC Her, DY Per, UV Per     Astrometric Monitoring - Nearby Stars   CN Leo DX Cnc attempt (failed due to cloud)

- Late evening session (1.0 hrs duration) cut short when sky transparency reduced / thin clouds - Session operated under semi-automated control, with remote monitoring from indoors computer.   - Ambient Temperature:  tube temperature fell to +2.0 degC (minimum) before rising to +4.0 deg by end of session as cloud developed - CCD operation -30 degC (at 76% average cooling).  - Planned objectives of the session were to monitor selected variable stars & nearby stars -
