Objects Session Notes
C/2006 M4 (Swan) - Comet M31 - Extragalactic Nova: M31 2006 14 M31 - Extragalactic Nova: M31 2006 15 M74 - Spiral Galaxy Astrometric & Photometric Monitoring
- HD 5501/5513 (eclipsing variables)
- SS Cyg (dwarf novae)
- Z And, RU Peg (variable)
- BL Lac (BL Lac blazer)
- U And, W And, U Her (Mira variables)
- 61 Cyg, Barnards Star (nearby star)
- TrES-2 (exosolar planet sol)
- 4.8 hr session, largely operated under automated control - CCD operation of -20 degC (at 55% average cooling). . - session terminated early due to developing cloud - main objectives were to acquire BVRI images of Mira stars (U Her, U And, W And) as part of ongoing photometric studies, together with follow-up images on C/2006 M4, BL Lac and M31 Nova (2006 14) - opportunity taken to acquire images of Mira (Cetus) - - More Notes -
