Objects Session Notes
Bullet C/2012 K5 (LINEAR) - Comet
Bullet 168P/Hergenrother - Comet  
 
Bullet Variable Stars
Bullet Photometric Monitoring - Variables
- R CrB, CY Cyg, SS Cyg, U Her, DY Per, GK Per
Bullet Astrometric Monitoring - Nearby Stars

Attempts: 61 Cyg failed (poor vis)
- Late Evening session (1.5 hrs duration). Wind effected.
- Session operated under semi-automated control, with remote monitoring from indoors computer.  
(Power-Line networking)
- Ambient Temperature: -1.0 deg C (minimum)
- CCD operation -30 degC (at 66% average cooling).  
- main objectives of the session were to perform further software testing and to acquire images of selected project stars for ongoing photometric and astrometric analysis.
