Objects Session Notes
Bullet P/2014 L2 (NEOWISE) - Comet
   
Bullet NGC 2771 - Spiral Galaxy with Type Ia Supernova ASASSN-14iu
Bullet NGC 7673 - Spiral Galaxy
   
Bullet UGC 11919 - Spiral Galaxy
 
Bullet Variable Stars (photometric monitoring)
- RX And, U And, W And, Z And,  FS Aur, R CrB, CI Cyg, SS Cyg, S Cyg, AM Her, BL Lac, RU Peg, DY Per, GK Per, FG Sge, U Sge, V Sge

TT Ari, U Her & WZ Sge attempts failed (unable to link/plate solve)
Bullet Nearby Stars (astrometric monitoring)
- Ross 248 (HH And), Groombridge 34, EV Lac

-
Teegardens Star attempt failed (unable to link/plate solve)
- Evening session (4.5 hrs duration).  
- Session operated under semi-automated control, with remote monitoring from indoors computer.  
- Ambient Temperature:  -0.5°C minimum
- CCD operation -25°C (at 58% average cooling). 
- main objectives of the session was to monitor selected variable stars & nearby stars and to take gallery images of a range of deep sky objects.  (Poor sky conditions & moonlight hindered attempts to get any good images)

P/2014 L2 (NEOWISE) - Comet

P/2014 L2 (NEOWISE)
(passing through Aquarius)
Sun Distance 2.46 AU
Comet is probably not visible in this image.
Expected Comet position is marked by the white circle.
The white indicators show a probable star. 
A future image is required to confirm this

NGC 2771 - Spiral Galaxy with Type Ia Supernova ASASSN-14iu

NGC 2771 with supernova ASASSN-14iu (Ursa Major)
ASASSN-14iu (Type Ia,  z=0.016855) was discovered 2014/10/12.610 
by All Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN)
at magnitude +15.8
Located 1.3" west and 0.8" north of the center of NGC 2771
(Rochester Supernova site | Discovery Image )

The image below was taken 24.3 days after discovery 
The supernova position is indicated by white markers.
The image is unable to resolve the Supernova separately to the galaxy centre.
The combined measured brightness of supernova + galaxy center is +13.0
