Objects Session Notes
NGC 2169 - Open Cluster NGC 2022 - Planetary Nebula PGC 17033 - Galaxy Cluster (part of Abell 539) NGC 2194 - Open Cluster Astrometric & Photometric Monitoring - U Gem (dwarf nova)
- U Her (mira)
- BL Lac (blazar)
- R CrB, DY Per, RR Tau (variables)
- Gliese 412 (nearby stars)
SS Cyg, HIP 36208 (failed due to cloud/poor transparency)
- Evening session (6.1 hrs) - Ambient Temperature +1.5 degC falling to 0degC (minimum) before rising again to +1 degC by end of session - CCD operation -25 degC (at 69% average cooling). - main objective of the session was to acquire images of key selected stars for ongoing photometric and astrometric analysis. - opportunity taken to acquire images of a few deep sky objects -
