Session Notes

C/2017 T2 (PanStarrs) - Comet     NGC 777 - Elliptical Galaxy (LGG 42 Member) NGC 925 - Spiral Galaxy NGC 5693 - Spiral Galaxy (LCG 384 Member)     UGC 1577 - Spiral Galaxy (LGG 42 Member) UGC 1641 - Spiral Galaxy (LGG 42 Member) UGC 2614 - Spiral Galaxy with AT 2019pxo     Variable Stars (photometric monitoring)   - None     Nearby Stars (astrometric monitoring)  - None

- Night session (5.5 hours) Session operated in fully automated mode with  monitoring during the first half of the session - Main aim of the session was to test out new features in AdvMain / AstroGuard and to check stability of Programs after change. Conditons were forecast to be marginal so there were no specific observing aims. Several targets failed due to Cloud and/or poor transparency.     - 12" LX200 + ST-10XME for imaging - TS 80mm APO + ZWO ASI178MC for guiding & imaging - Ambient Temperature:  Falling  to 3.5°C (min). Outdoors 3°C (min) (Dew heaters on automated) - CCD Temperature:  -20°C  (69% av. power) - Notes from 2019-10-01 >>
