Astrometric & Photometric Monitoring
- U Gem, (dwarf novae)
- HIP 4429 (suspected variable)
- U And, W And (Mira variables)
- Z And, RZ LMi, ER UMa variables)
- BL Lac (BL Lac blazer)
- NGC 4151 (Seyfert Galaxy)
- HH And, DX Cnc, Gliese 1245, Groombridge 34, 
  Groombridge 1830, Teegarden's Star (Nearby Stars)
- 6.6 hr session, largely operated under automated control with remote monitoring
- CCD operation of -25 degC (at 85% average cooling). .
- main objective was to acquire images ongoing photometric and astrometric monitoring of the selected stars
- opportunity was taken to acquire gallery shots of M98 and a Supernova (SN 2007aa) in NGC 4030
