- Evening session (2.3 hrs duration). 
- Session parts operated under semi-automated control, with remote monitoring from indoors computer.   
- Ambient Temperature: -3°C (minimum) 
- CCD operation -30°C (at 65% average cooling).  
- main objective of the session was to acquire images of selected project stars for ongoing photometric and astrometric analysis. 
- opportunity taken to acquire images of a number of open cluster in the Cepheus/Lacerta/Perseus/ Camelopardalis/Auriga region
