- Evening session (2.1 hrs), cloud developing
- Session operated under semi-automated control, with remote monitoring from indoors computer. 
- Ambient Temperature:  0.5 deg C  (minimum)
- CCD operation -25 degC (at 57% average cooling).  
- main objectives of the session was to acquire images of selected project stars for ongoing photometric analysis
- opportunity taken to acquire a number of deep sky targets
