Bullet NGC 7465 - Spiral Galaxy
Bullet NGC 4036 - Spiral Galaxy with Supernova 2007gi
Bullet CCD Assisted Polar Alignment
Bullet Astrometric & Photometric Monitoring
- SS Cyg (Dwarf Nova)
- BL Lac (Blazar)
- SZ Her (Variable)
- Session duration 3.6 hr
- CCD operation of -20 degC (at 67% average cooling). .
- main objectives were to check improved polar alignment of the telescope by performing a new TPoint Mapping run
- secondary objectives were to acquire images of selected variable stars and make a further check on robustness of my camera/telescope control software shell which had just been upgraded from VB.Net/Studio 2001 to VB.Net/Studio 2005.
- opportunity was taken to acquire follow up images of Supernova 2007gi, plus images of a couple of small galaxies
