Overview

I did a few runs imaging a bunch of under (often un) observed Miras in the summer Milky Way. On the whole the charts are quite bad and the fields crowded (as one would expect in the Milky Way).
The SXV-H9 is the imaging camera, with exposures for variable stars of 120 seconds at 4x4 binning (unguided). This month's session notes are below the overview section.

Session Notes

Mon/Tue, June 5/6

Last year saw virtually no bat activity in the attic. This year they seem to be quite active (based on guano abundance). On the night of June 5/6 a bat flew by me three times while I was on my way out to the dome! Other than this, I didn't have any actual encounters with bats this month.
