Session Notes

C/2018 W2 (Africano) - Comet UGC 2614 - Spiral Galaxy with AT 2019pxo PGC 11392 - Spiral Galaxy C/2017 T2 (PanStarrs) - Comet IC 2098 - Spiral Galaxy IC 2207 - Spiral Galaxy IC 2461 - Spiral Galaxy NGC 3068 - Spiral Galaxy (ARP 174)     Variable Stars (photometric monitoring)   - RX And, U And, CY Aqr, TT ARi, TV Cas, YZ Cnc, S Cyg, U Gem, BL Lac, RR Leo, FO Ori, NV Ori, DY Per, GK Per, WZ Sge, CM Tau, RR Tau     Nearby Stars (astrometric monitoring)  - HH And, LAMOST-HVS1, Scholz's Star, Teegardens Star

- Night session (6.9 hours) Session operated in fully automated mode with  monitoring during the first 2 hours - Main aim of the session was to take images of selected comets & deep sky targets and to checkout bug fixes to AstroMain / AstroGuard, and use observatory in 'RainTrim' mode for first time.     - 12" LX200 + ST-10XME for imaging - TS 80mm APO + ZWO ASI178MC for guiding & imaging - Ambient Temperature:  9.0°C (min) before climbing later to 8°C Outdoors 8.5°C (min) (Dew heaters on automated) - CCD Temperature:  -15°C  (70% av. power) - Notes from 2019-10-07 >>
