Objects Session Notes
C/2018 N2 (ASASSN) - Comet M39 - Open Cluster NGC 7243 - Open Cluster Variable Stars (photometric monitoring) - RX And, U And, TT Ari, S Cyg, SS Cyg, BL Lac, DY Per, GK Per, FG Sge, V Sge, WZ Sge, RR Tau, ER UMa
- SU Tau attempt filed due to cloudNearby Stars (astrometric monitoring) - HH And, 61 Cyg, Groombridge 34,
- Teegardens Star attempt failed due to cloud
- Evening session (6.5 hours)
Session operated under automated control with remote monitoring for most of the session. User interventation after an bug continuing new plan and when it was elected to close the session due to cloud conditions and continuing rain shower risk.
- Main aim of the session was to acquire a selection of targets and to test new features in AstroMain /AstroShCap - 12" LX200 + ST-10XME for imaging - TS 80mm APO + ZWO ASI178MC for guiding & imaging - Ambient Temperature: 3°C (min)
(Dew heaters on new automated control)- CCD Temperature: -20°C (66% av. power) - Notes from 2019-10-28 >>
