- Evening session (5.2 hrs duration).   - Session operated under semi-automated control, with remote monitoring from indoors computer.   - Ambient Temperature:  0.5 degC minimum - CCD operation -25 degC (at 62% average cooling).  - main objectives of the session was to monitor selected variable stars & nearby stars and to take gallery images of a range of deep sky objects.  (Poor sky conditions & moonlight hindered attempts to get any good images) - -
