- All Night Session (11.9 hours duration) .

Session operated in fully automated mode, but monitored over remote connection for 1st half of session.

Sky quality good, good seeing.

- Main aim of the session was acquire images of a selection of nearby stars, variable stars and deep sky objects taking advantage of moderate weather conditions. Secondary aim was to test recent  changes and additions to AstroMain program

AT2019B - Detail
The Rochester site implies that the SN is associated with UGC 118, but another
possibility is that the SN is actually associated with galaxy PGC 212483 as it has a smaller offset.
