Objects Session Notes
156P/Russell-LINEAR - Comet AT2020ablw (CV) (Attempt) VV 94 - Interacting Galaxy (PGC 8704) Variable Stars (photometric monitoring) - TT Ari Nearby Stars (astrometric monitoring) - None
- Short evening session (1.0 hours) - Main aims of the session were the acquisition of a selection of variable star, nearby star and comet targets and deep sky targets before expected cloud arrived. - 12" LX200 + ST-10XME for imaging - TS 80mm APO + ZWO ASI178MC for guiding & imaging - Ambient Temperature: 1°C (min) - CCD Temperature: -20/-25°C - Notes from 2020-12-22 >> -

AT2020ablw (Pisces) AT2020ablw (Type: CV) discovered 2020/12/02.994 UT by MASTER Alias: MASTER OT J011516.48+245528.7, CRTS J011516.5+245530 Magnitude at discovery +14.9 vs normal magnitude ?? ( Rochester Supernova site ) |
AT2020ablw, 2020-12-20 (T+19.7d) Image below (2020-12-22.8739) was taken 19.7 days after reported discovery of AT2020ablw No indication of any bright object at the reported position of the CV (shown by white circle). Transient is not confirmed. (Transient has probably dimmed back to normal magnitude) |
