Bullet Variable Stars (photometric monitoring)
- RX And, Z And, SS Cyg, KIC 8462852, BL Lac,
    
Bullet Nearby Stars (astrometric monitoring)
- None
  
- Although intended as an all-night session, an AstroMain program crash just before starting Near Zenith Focusing, meant there was a signficant delay until the issue was noticed and resolved by installing a new corrected version of the program. After restarting observatory software the effective session  length was 1.6 hours.
   
- 12" LX200 + ST-10XME for imaging
- TS 80mm APO + ZWO ASI178MC for guiding & imaging
- Ambient Temperature: 12.5°C (min)
