Objects Session Notes
46P/Wirtanen - Comet NGC 3254 - Spiral Galaxy, with Type Ia Supernova 2019np Photometric Monitoring - Variable Stars - AM CVn, SY Cnc, R CrB, CI Cyg, S Cyg, U Gem, AM Her, RR Tau
SS Cyg, BL Lac, CY Lyr, FG Sge attempts failed due to cloud
Astrometric Monitoring - Nearby Stars - DX Cnc, CN Leo
61 Cyg, Groombridge 34 attempts failed due to cloud
- Late evening / night session, Duration 6.7hr
Session operated in fully automated mode, and monitored over remote connection for first half
After a promising start cloud rolled-in after midnight and ruined images from second half of the session
- Main aim of the session was general observing with mix of variable stars, nearby stars, comets and deep sky targets. - 12" LX200 + ST-10XME for imaging - TS 80mm APO + ZWO ASI178MC for guiding & imaging - Ambient Temperature: 1.5°C (min) - CCD Temperature: -25°C (85% av. power) - Notes from 2019-03-23 >>
