- Attempted Imaging Session, but foiled by failure of LX200R scope. All attempts to start Autostar failed. Attempted to put scope into Safe Mode in order to upload a new copy of 4.2g firmware but couldn't get either Meade ASU or StarPatch to successfully connect to Autostar II. See notes.    - Collected some Dark Frames to fill-in -30°C dark library - Ambient Temperature:  Initially falling to -2° C, falling too -4°C after opening observatory roof.  Tube Temperature climbing to 0°C after closing observatory roof, whilst taking dark frames.   - CCD operation -30°C (at 63% average cooling).   - Notes from 2010-01-02
