- All-Midnight Session (10.3 hours)
Session operated under automated control
Session preceeded by PHD2 testing/tuning
- Main aim of the session was to test a number of new program features and to acquire images of a selection of targets - 12" LX200 + ST-10XME for imaging - TS 80mm APO + ZWO ASI178MC for guiding & imaging - Ambient Temperature: 3°C (min) b
