Objects Session Notes
155P/Shoemaker - Comet C/2019 Y4 (ATLAS) - Comet Variable Stars (photometric monitoring) - RX And, GK Per, RR Tau Nearby Stars (astrometric monitoring) - LAMOST-HVS1, Scholz's Star
- Short session (1.9 hours total).
- Main aims of the session was to acquire images of a selection of deep sky and comet objects - 12" LX200 + ST-10XME for imaging - TS 80mm APO + ZWO ASI178MC for guiding & imaging - Ambient Temperature: 0.5°C (min)
(Dew heaters on auto)- CCD Temperature: -20°C (57% av. power) - Notes from 2020-02-23 >>
