Session Notes

C/2018 Y1 (Iwamoto) - Comet UGC 118 & PGC 212483 - Spiral Galaxies   (previously with Supernova AT2019B)     Photometric Monitoring - Variables   - RX And, U And, Z And, CI Cyg, AM Her, SS Her, U Her, BL Lac, CY Lyr, FG Sge, V Sge, X Tri S Cyg attempt failed due to cloud     Astrometric Monitoring - Nearby Stars  - Barnards Star, HH And, EV Lac, Teegardens Star

- Late evening / night session,  Duration 4.0hr Session operated in  fully automated mode. Session was interrupted by one spell of cloudy sky. - Main aim of the session was to return observatory to use after summer recess and perform 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:  10°C (min) - CCD Temperature:  -15°C  (100% av. power)  (Notes:  set temperature was too low ) - Notes from 2019-08-02 >>

UGC 118 & PGC 212483 - Spiral Galaxies (previously with Supernova AT2019B)

UGC 118 (NGC 42)  & PGC 212483 with SN 2019B (Pegasus) SN 2019B (Type II, z=0.021) discovered 2019/01/01.250 by All Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN)  (Rochester Supernova site |  Discovery Image  ) The Rochester site implies that the SN is associated with UGC 118, but another possibility is that the SN is actually associated with galaxy PGC 212483 as it has a smaller offset.

UGC 118 / NGC 42  & PGC 212483 - 2019-08-03 (T+213.8d) Image below (2019-08-03.06) was taken 213.8 days after SN 2019B discovery SN has faded and is no longer visible
