Objects Session Notes
- Full Night Session (13.8 hours duration) .
Session operated in fully automated mode. First part of session was monitored over remote connection. The final 7 hours were unattended.
- Main aim of the session was acquire images of a selection of nearby stars, variable stars and deep sky objects taking advantage of the good weather conditions. Secondary aim was to test recent changes and additions to AstroMain program - 12" LX200 + ST-10XME for imaging - TS 80mm APO + ZWO ASI178MC for guiding & imaging - Ambient Temperature: -5°C (minimum) - CCD Temperature: -25°C (68% av. power) - Notes from 2019-01-02 >> Attempts to image Hickson 39, 40, 47, 54, 64, 67, 72, 76, 80 failed due to Automated Guiding Failures

LAMOST-HVS1 is the first hypervelocity star (HVS) discovered from the LAMOST spectroscopic survey (Zheng et al, 2014, see report ) . It is a B-type star with a heliocentric radial velocity about 620 km/s, which projects to a Galactocentric radial velocity component of ~477 km/s. With a heliocentric distance of ~13 kpc and an apparent magnitude of ~13 mag, it is the nearest bright HVS currently known. With a mass of ~9Msun, it is one of the three most massive HVSs discovered so far. The star is clustered (taken from report abstract )
