Objects Session Notes
C/2018 W2 (Africano) - Comet Abell 45 - Planetary Nebula (Attempt) ARP 102 - Elliptical Galaxy connected to Spiral (UGC 10814 et al) ARP 124 - Spiral Galaxy (NGC 6361 w/ MCG+10-25-3) ARP 293 - Galaxy Pair (NGC 6285 & NGC 6286) ARP 310 - Double Galaxies (IC 1259) ARP 311 - Galaxy Group (IC 1258, IC 1259 & IC 1260) IC 2233 - Spiral Galaxy NGC 1817 - Open Cluster (H VII-4) NGC 2424 - Spiral Galaxy NGC 6960 - Nebula (Veil Nebula) Variable Stars (photometric monitoring) - RX And, U And, Z And, CI Cyg, SS Cyg, BL Lac, FO Ori, FU Ori, V Sge, RR Tau Nearby Stars (astrometric monitoring) - HH And, Barnards Star, 61 Cyg, Groombridge 34
- Full night session (7.7 hours)
Session operated in fully automated mode with some interventions & monitoring during the first half of the session
- Main aim of the session was to aquire images of a range of deep sky targets and one or two comets
Conditions relatively good. Some observing time was lost due to a stalled job queue where control didn't pass back to AdvMain from conducting a Telescope.jog- 12" LX200 + ST-10XME for imaging - TS 80mm APO + ZWO ASI178MC for guiding & imaging - Ambient Temperature: Falling from 8°C to 3°C (min).
Outdoors 2°C (min)
(Dew heaters on manual, 63%)- CCD Temperature: -15°/-20°C (61 / 66% av. power) - Notes from 2019-09-07 >>
| C/2018 W2 (Africano) (passing through Perseus) Sun Distance 1.45 AU Earth Distance 0.80 AU (119.3 million km) |
C/2018 W2 (Africano) - Detail Frames aligned on comet (stars appear trailed due to movement of comet and somewhat bloated due to an image quality issue) |
