Objects Session Notes
Bullet Comet 17P/Holmes
Bullet Astrometric & Photometric Monitoring
- SS Cyg (dwarf nova)
-
(unsuccessful attempts at BL Lac, Lyr TZ, due to cloud)
- Evening session (1.7hr), mild, patchy cloud, full cloud cover developing towards end of session
CCD operation of -15 degC (at 69% average cooling).   Ambient temperatures 10 deg warmer than previous session on Oct 30th
- main objective of the session was to acquire an follow up images of recently erupted comet 17P/Holmes and acquire images for photometric analysis of SS Cyg
- secondary objective was to acquire images of selected stars for ongoing astrometric and photometric analysis
