Session Aims & Highlights (2023-08-20)

Main aims

  1. Short Mapping Job.  Conduct a short mapping job a start of session in order to resync telescope pointing
  2. Targets.  Acquire images of a selection of variable stars, nearby stars, comets & deep sky targets as allowed by sky conditions
  3. AstroMain.  Check new AstroMain version (3.62.8) for recent fixes & improvements.
