- All night session (5.7 hours total).
- Main aims of the session was to acquire images of a selection of deep sky and comet objects - 12" LX200 + ST-10XME for imaging - TS 80mm APO + ZWO ASI178MC for guiding & imaging - Ambient Temperature: 5°C (min)
(Dew heaters on auto)- CCD Temperature: -20°C (73% av. power) - Notes from 2020-04-18 >>
