Objects Session Notes
- All Night Session (11.3 hours duration) .
Session operated in fully automated mode, but monitored over remote connection
Sky quality moderate, some issues with freezing fog and frost
- 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 - 12" LX200 + ST-10XME for imaging - TS 80mm APO + ZWO ASI178MC for guiding & imaging - Ambient Temperature: -6°C (minimum) - CCD Temperature: -30°C (68% av. power) - Notes from 2019-01-31 >> - Aurora Images/Video from 2019-01-31 >>
