Objects Session Notes
IC 65 - Spiral Galaxy & Supernovae 2009mf NGC 672 - Spiral Galaxy NGC 925 - Spiral Galaxy NGC 2264 - Open Cluster with Nebulosity (Christmas Tree Nebula) NGC 3423 - Spiral Galaxy & Supernovae 2009ls Mars IC 443 - Nebula / Supernovae Remnant NGC 4038 / 4039 - Interacting Galaxy Pair ("The Antennae") Moon Photometric Monitoring - Variables - RX And, U And, W And, Z And, Z And (TimeSeries), TT ARi, HR Aur, KR Aur, R CrB, S Cyg, SS Cyg, U Gem, BL Lac, CN Ori, FO Ori, FU Ori, NV Ori, RU Peg, DY Per, GK Per, RR Tau
Astrometric Monitoring - Nearby Stars - Gliese 412, Groombridge 1830, Lalande 21185, Teegardens Star
- Evening/Night session (7.9 hr). Good conditions with stable seeing, Calm & Cold - Session operated under semi-automated control with remote monitoring - Ambient Temperature: Initially -1.0 degC falling to -3.0 degC minimum by end of session - CCD operation -25 degC (at 52% average cooling). - main objective of the session was to acquire images of key selected stars for ongoing photometric and astrometric analysis. - opportunity taken to acquire a range of deep sky images, and perform a PEC refinement of the LX200 mount - Notes from 2009-12-10 (Pec Training)
