Objects Session Notes
155P/Shoemaker - Comet C/2019 Y1 (ATLAS) - Comet Basel 10 - Open Cluster PGC 40043 - Spiral Galaxy with Type 1c Supernovae 2020epi Variable Stars (photometric monitoring) - AM CVn, SY Cnc, R CrB, S Cyg, AM Her, U Her, RZ LMi, DY Per, SU Tau, ER UMa
- SS Her, BL Lac, CY Lyr, GK Per, FG Sge, V Sge attempts failed due to a dome positioning errorNearby Stars (astrometric monitoring) - DX Cnc, CN Leo
- Barnards Star, Cyg 61, Groombridge 34 attempts failed due to a dome positioning error
- All night session (7.5 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: 2°C (min)
(Dew heaters on auto)- CCD Temperature: -15°/-20°C (61%/66% av. power) - Notes from 2020-04-01 >>
155P/Shoemaker - 2020-04-01 (passing through Leo) Sun Distance 2.32 AU (receeding) Earth Distance 1.42 AU (212.2 million km) Note: It is unclear which of the two objects indicated with white cross-hairs is the comet |
155P/Shoemaker - 2020-04-01, Detail Autoguided on offset star using PHD2 with Lock Shift set at the comet's rate of motion (Ra -6.85 arcsec/hr, Dec -4.46 arcsec/hr) Note: It is unclear which of the two objects indicated with white cross-hairs is the comet |

Basel 10 (Perseus) SAC Basel 10, Saguaro Astronomy Club Database Although correct target offsets used (-5.0' W, -1.1' N), a rogue jog on the final centering operation caused a 3' pointing error led to the centre of star clustering to not be precisely centered. Target to be re-imaged in a follow-up session |
CCD Image (70% size, linear scale) 8 x 30s exposure (average combine), 3x3 binning, C Filter 2020-04-01 20:14 UT (#765004-11) 12" LX200R (at f/10.4) + ST-10XME Auto-guided using TS 80mm APO, ZWO ASI178MC & PHD2 |
Basel 10 - Earlier Image (2020-02-12) Although the image is centered on the target object 'SAC Basel 10' in TheSky6 the center of star clustering appears to lie to the left of center. Note: Target to be re-imaged in a follow-up session using target offsets -5.0' W, -1.1' N |
CCD Image (70% size, linear scale) 7 x 30s exposure (average combine), 3x3 binning, C Filter 2020-02-12 20:21 UT (#751087-94) 12" LX200R (at f/10.4) + ST-10XME Auto-guided using TS 80mm APO, ZWO ASI178MC & PHD2 |
