Objects Session Notes
21P/Giacobini-Zinner - Comet M5 - Globular Cluster NGC 6207 - Spiral Galaxy Photometric Monitoring - Variables - None Astrometric Monitoring - Nearby Stars - None
- Night Session (2 hrs duration).
Clear skies, low wind.- Session operated under semi-automated control, with remote monitoring from indoors computer. - Main aims of the session was to perform TPoint Mapping as part of commissioning the new observatory, but opportunity was taken to acquire images of a few selected deep sky objects
- 12" LX200 + ST-10XME for imaging- Ambient Temperature: 5°C (minimum) - Notes from 2018-05-17 >>
