Astrometric Monitoring - Nearby Stars - 61 Cyg, EV Lac, Teegarden's Star
- Evening session (4.3 hr). Very cold (minimum temperature -8 degC) - Sessions operated under semi-automated control - Ambient Temperature: Minimum -8.0 degC rising to -7 degC by end of session - CCD operation -30 degC (at 48% average cooling). - main objectives of the session was to acquire images of key selected stars for ongoing photometric and astrometric analysis, acquire set of Darks at -30deg. - secondary objective was to acquire images of a few Local Group and other nearby Galaxies. - opportunity also taken to acquire images of Nova Aquilae 2009, Uranus and Abell 12
| V1722 Aql / Nova Aquilae 2009 (Aquila) Nova discovered by Koichi Nishiyama, & Fujio Kabashima (Japan) at magnitude 10.9 on 2009-12-14.40 Image (2009-12-26.77) was taken 12.4 days after discovery. V filter images taken at same show the nova with magnitude +12.32 |
