Objects Session Notes
C/2017 T2 (PanStarrs) - Comet C/2018 N2 (ASASSN) - Comet Schloz's Star - Hypervelocity Star NGC 2506 - Open Cluster (Caldwell 54) NGC 2548 - Open Cluster (H VI-22) NGC 3646 - Spiral Galaxy Variable Stars (photometric monitoring) - RX And, U And, Z And, TT Ari, SY Cnc, CI Cyg, S Cyg, SS Cyg, AM Her, BL Lac, CY Lyr, U Mon, DY Per, GK Per, RR Tau, SU Tau
- FO Ori, FU Ori attempts failed due to cloudNearby Stars (astrometric monitoring) - HH And, DX Cnc, 61 Cyg, Groombridge 34, DX Cnc, Scholz's Star, Teegardens Star
- Evening session (6.5 hours)
Session operated under automated control with remote monitoring to check progress of new features. 2 interventions to fix bugs and restart.
- Main aim of the session was to test a number of new program features and to acquire images of a selection of targets - 12" LX200 + ST-10XME for imaging - TS 80mm APO + ZWO ASI178MC for guiding & imaging - Ambient Temperature: Falling from 4.5° to 1°C (min)
(Dew heaters on new automated control)- CCD Temperature: -20°C (63% av. power) - Notes from 2019-11-07 >>
