Bullet NGC 6027 (Seyfert's Sextet) - Galaxy Cluster
Bullet Illapa (37655) - Minor Planet

Notes (S00047)

Sky transparency was poor, with conditions unsuitable for deep sky imaging. The session of concentrated on imaging Pluto and a number of Messier clusters. 99 CCD images were taken over a period of 1.6 hours.
