Objects Session Notes
80P/Peters-Hartley - Comet (Attempt) C/2019 T4 (ATLAS) - Comet AT 2023cvz - CV Type Transient M101 - Spiral Galaxy with Type IIL Supernova 2023ixf - NGC 5297 w/AT2023mlt attempt failed (due to cloud) Variable Stars (photometric monitoring) - SS Cyg Nearby Stars (astrometric monitoring) - 61 Cyg - Barnards Star attempt failed (due to bad focus)
- Attempted all night session (2.7 hrs), that was interrupted by and then prematurely ended by cloud. - 12" LX200 + ST-10XME for imaging - TS 80mm APO + ZWO ASI178MC for guiding & imaging - Ambient Temperature: 7.5°C (min) - CCD Temperature: -15° C - Notes from 2023-08-05 >> -
