With only six days in between observations, this dwarf nova faded away for my equipment. On 22nd of September I was able to catch it with my 8″ SCT but six days later it was gone. Light curve below.

This supernova was found by Koichi Itagaki from Japan. It’s very bright and clearly visible in my 7 minutes exposure. Taken with 8″ SCT and STL11K.

Asensin jalustaan eilen tulleen uuden kaapelin ja testasin moottoreiden kunnon. Kaikki toimii, joten seuraavia selkeitä odotellaan. Silloin voin synkata jalustan uudelleen ja pääsen tositoimiin kuvaustouhuissa.

After a long process I finally got package from AP. It included their new adapters for SBIG STL-cameras to have maximum opening for light path. These 2.7″ adapters are huge compared to normal adapters I have used. I also got the long missed y-cable for my AP900GTO mount to replace the broken one. Now I’m back in business!
