- Night time session (2.6 hrs).
Clear sky, mist developing at dawn, warm night
- Operated under semi-automated control.
- Ambient Temperature  initially 16 deg C, decreasing to 12 deg C by end of observing session.
- CCD operation -20 degC (at 88% 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 low declination objects in Sagittarus and Ophiuchus
