Objects Session Notes
Bullet C/2006 M4 (Swan) - Comet
Bullet NGC 7243 - Open Cluster
Bullet Nearby Stars
- Barnard's Star 
- SO025300.5+165258 ("Teegarden's Star")
- HIP 67593
Bullet Variable Star Monitoring 
- U Her, W And, U And, EZ And (Mira variables)
- R CrB
- SS Cyg, HD 5501
- 3.3/4 hr session.
- CCD operation of -15 degC
- main objectives where to acquire images of variables stars and nearby stars for photometric and astrometric studies. 
- opportunity was taken to acquire image of new comet C/2006 M4 (Swan) and a mosaic of NGC 7243.  
- Low Haze /heavy dew developed during the session and prevented recording some mosaics that had been planned.
