- Night session (6.3 hours)

Session operated in fully automated mode with  monitoring during the first 30 minutes

- Main aim of the session was to take images of selected comets & deep sky targets and to checkout bug fixes to AstroMain / AstroGuard.
   
- 12" LX200 + ST-10XME for imaging
- TS 80mm APO + ZWO ASI178MC for guiding & imaging
- Ambient Temperature:  6.0°C (min) before climbing later to 8°C
Outdoors 5.5°C (min)
(Dew heaters on automated)
- CCD Temperature:  -15°C  (69% av. power)
