  - UGC 1971 & UGC 1098 attempts failed (guiding failure/ LX200 Comms Issue)
    
Bullet Variable Stars (photometric monitoring)
- U Gem, CN Ori
    
Bullet Nearby Stars (astrometric monitoring)
- EV Lac, Scholz's Star
  
   
- All-night session 11.2 hours
- Issue with slow LX200 Communications / Poor response during first part of session which was diagnosed to be due to experimental reading/charting of Scope Temperature via LX200 protocol request.  Eventually resolved and the session was continued (at 21:57) , however by this time 3.5 hours of good observing time was lost.
- Remainder of session interrupted by cloud & threat of rain.
- 12" LX200 + ST-10XME for imaging
- TS 80mm APO + ZWO ASI178MC for guiding & imaging
- Ambient Temperature: 0.5°C (min)
- CCD Temperature:  -25°C
