Objects Session Notes
C/2018 Y1 (Iwamoto) - Comet Photometric Monitoring - Variables - SY Cnc, FO Ori, NV Ori, RR Tau, FU Ori, U Gem
Z And, AM CVn, Z attempts failed due to dew
Astrometric Monitoring - Nearby Stars - DX Cnc
Groombridge 34, CN Leo attempts failed due to dew
- Short evening session, Duration 1.1hr
Session operated in fully automated mode, and monitored over remote connection.
After a promising start cloud rapidly rolled in and brought the session to an end.
- Main aim of the session was general observing with mix of variable stars, nearby stars, comets and deep sky targets. - 12" LX200 + ST-10XME for imaging - TS 80mm APO + ZWO ASI178MC for guiding & imaging - Ambient Temperature: -1°C (min) - CCD Temperature: -20°C (70% av. power) - Notes from 2019-03-18 >>
