- Attempted Imaging Session, but foiled by failure of LX200R scope. All attempts to start Autostar failed. Attempted to put scope into Safe Mode in order to upload a new copy of 4.2g firmware but couldn't get either Meade ASU or StarPatch to successfully connect to Autostar II. See notes.   
- Collected some Dark Frames to fill-in -30 deg C dark library
- Ambient Temperature:  Initially falling to -2 deg C, falling too -4 degC after opening observatory roof.  Tube Temperature climbing to 0 degC after closing observatory roof, whilst taking dark frames.
