Objects Session Notes
Jupiter & moons 136199 Eris - Dwarf Planet (2003 UB313) IC 10 - Irregular Galaxy, Local Group Photometric Monitoring - Variables - U And, W And, SS Cyg, CY Lyr, DY Per
- GK Per, FG Sge, U Sge, V Sge- RX And attempt (failed due to cloud)
Astrometric Monitoring - Nearby Stars - 61 Cyg
- Night session (1.9 hr). - Operated in Observatory under manual and semi-automated control. Later operated under automated control with remote monitoing - Ambient Temperature 10 deg C - CCD operation -20 degC (at 73 % average cooling). - main objective of the session was to acquire images of key selected stars for ongoing photometric and astrometric analysis.

| MPL 2003 UB313 attempt (Cetus, altitude 23 deg, airmass 2.5) With predicted magnitude of 18.7, Eris would have been too faint to seen in this image (mag limit +18). Glare from mag 9 star would also have been a problem |
