Objects Session Notes
Hickson 8 - Galaxy Cluster (PGC 2886 et al) LBN 534 - Gas Cloud Minkowski 1-79 - Planetary Nebula (PLN 93-2.1) NGC 7008 - Planetary Nebula Photometric Monitoring - Variables - None
Astrometric Monitoring - Nearby Stars - None
- Late Night Session (1.4 hrs duration).
Clear skies, low wind- Session conducted as a Fully Automated Run, in which the Observatory Control Program opened the Observatory, built and executed an optimised Observing Plan before finally closing the Observatory at the end of the night (Session was monitored for the first 10 minutes to ensure that it had kicked off okay) - Main aim of the session was to test a newly consolidated autofocusing routine in manual mode before the main automated run was commenced. Secondary aims was to acquire images of a selection of deep sky targets and perform further testing of fully automated observatory operations. - 12" LX200 + ST-10XME for imaging - Ambient Temperature: 8°C (minimum) - CCD Temperature: -15°C (87% av. power) - Notes from 2018-08-07 >>
