Objects Session Notes
- 2 hr 35m session - main aim was to acquire baseline images of of HD 149026 and TrES-1 (exosolar planet parent star project) , Gliese 1245 (nearby star project), - also acquired were images of SS Cyg (variable star project), 61 Cygni, Ross 248 and Groombridge 34 (nearby stars project) and the mira variable (U Her) - developing cloud prevented acquisition of planned infrared imaging of Maffei 1, Maffei 2 (galaxies largely obscured by Milky Way dust) - More Notes
Further baseline images of XO-1 were acquired as
part of a project to detect the transit of an exosolar planet, that is known to
orbit this star
(exosolar planet project).

U Her (Hercules) |
|||||||||||
|
U Her is a mira variable with catalog period of 406.1
days and magnitude range of +6.4 to +13.4. Images were acquired in C, B, V, R & I filters A magnitude of +7.5 (V band) is estimated fro U Her using the comparison star technique, suggesting that the variable is near peak brightness. |

Baseline images of HD 149026 were acquired as

orbit this star

| Monitoring HD 149026 for small magnitude
changes during exosolar planet transits will be difficult due to the lack of a suitable reference star of similar brightness within the same field of view. Less accurate method of monitoring will be to alternate frames of HD 149026 with frames from offset reference star. |
| Possible offset stars : |
| HIP 80885 (Hercules) HIP 80885 is actually a double star (Struve 2059) with 1 arc sec separation (too small to be seen at resolution of image) |
