- Very short evening session (~ 15 mins) cut short by developing clouds / overcast conditions - Main aims of the session were the testing of new routine & bug fixes and acquisition of a selection of deep sky targets, together with some variable star, nearby star and comet targets (if conditions allowed) - 12" LX200 + ST-10XME for imaging - TS 80mm APO + ZWO ASI178MC for guiding & imaging - Ambient Temperature: 9°C (min) climbing later as clouds rolled in - CCD Temperature:  -15°C - Notes from 2020-11-05 >>      -
