Objects Session Notes
C/2017 T2 (PanStarrs) - Comet M42 - Nebula (Great Nebula in Orion) Variable Stars (photometric monitoring) - U Gem, FO Ori, U Mon, RR Tau, ER UMa Nearby Stars (astrometric monitoring) - DX Cnc, LAMOST-HVS1, Scholz's Star
- Post-Midnight Session (3.8 hours)
Session operated under automated control
- Main aim of the session was to tune autoguiding 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: 2°C (min) - CCD Temperature: -20°C (62% av. power) - Notes from 2019-12-16 >>
