- Night Session (2 hrs duration).
Clear skies, low wind.
- Session operated from within observatory
- Main aims of the session was to test automated acquisition of images of a sequence of targets (Plan) that have been scheduled by a newly developed genetic algorithum optimisation program working with target data held in SQLite, and to acquire images of Jupiter and selected other objects.

In the event computer/software issues (POTH, telescope connection, CCDSoft freezing) prevented the execution of the planned computer generated observing plan.

- 12" LX200 + ST-10XME for imaging
- Ambient Temperature:  5 degC (minimum)
