Objects Session Notes
- 4 hour session, cold (-2 deg C) - main aim was to take a variety of deep sky objects whilst sky was dark (no moon) and skies were clear. - Teegardens Star and asterorids 16 Pysche and 11 Parthenope were pre-planned targets to follow up on earlier observations, but other targets were picked on the night - More Notes -
"Teegarden's star" (official name SO025300.5+165258) is a nearby red dwarf star, lying approximately 12.5 light years from Earth. It was discovered was announced in 2003 by a team led by Bonnard J. Teegarden. It has a large proper motion (around 5.1 arc secs per year) and a annual parallax motion of approximately 0.26 arc secs (more information on "Teegarden's Star").
