C/2006 W3 (Christensen) - Comet Photometric Monitoring - Variables - RX And, U And, Z And, CI Cyg, SS Cyg,
- SS Her, U Her, BL Lac, U SgePhotometric Monitoring - Nearby Stars - HH And (Ross 248), 61 Cyg
- Short night time session (1.4 hrs). - Operated under automated control with remote control monitoring - Ambient Temperature initially 5 deg C, decreasing to 3 deg C. - CCD operation -25 degC (at 64% average cooling). - main objective of the session was to test a new software routine for identifying the end of a LX200R slew operation, to ensure that the scope has completed settled before imaging commences, without enduring unnecessary delays for short slew operations - secondary 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 mag 12 comet in Lacerta - - Notes from 2009-06-07
