Objects Session Notes
Star Spectra U Cyg - variable star / spectra 3C 273 - Quasar NGC 4490 - Spiral Galaxy with Supernovae 2008ax Astrometric & Photometric Monitoring - SS Cyg, U Gem (dwarf nova)
- SS Her, U Her (mira variable)
- BL Lac (blazar)
- KR Aur, SY Cnc, AM CVn, AM Her, SZ Her, RZ LMi, DY Per, ER UMa (variables)
- V2491 Cyg (nova)
- Barnard's Star, Gliese 412, Groombridge 34, Groombridge 1618, Groombridge 1830, Lalande 21185 (Nearby Stars)
- All night session (5.7hr) - night hours now shorterning as summer approaches - CCD operation of -20 degC
(at 64% average cooling).- main objective to try out updated software routines for automated capture of correctly focussed star spectra - produced using recently purchased Star Analyser 100. - other main objective was to acquire images of certain selected stars for ongoing photometric and astrometric analysis
