  - UGC 6608, C/2019 U5 (PANSTARRS), NGC 5548, AT2023fm,  AT2023ds attempts failed (uneven illumination, due to snow & ice on front of telescope)
   
Bullet Variable Stars (photometric monitoring)
- None
    
  - SS Cyg, BL Lac attempts failed (uneven illumination, due to snow & ice on front of telescope)
    
Bullet Nearby Stars (astrometric monitoring)
- None
  
- Attempted All Night Session session (12.3 hours) interrupted for 6 hours by cloud & snow. Images from second part of session rejected because of uneven illumination due to accumulated snow having slid off shutter onto front of telescope when shutter was opened upon session resumption.
   
- 12" LX200 + ST-10XME for imaging
- TS 80mm APO + ZWO ASI178MC for guiding & imaging
- Ambient Temperature: -2°C (min)
