Day 1
Group picking, at 20:03. After our group has been assembled and all team members found, we arranged a meeting in our work-room. After introduction to our work and team members we went to sleep.
Day 2
We where introduced to our equipment (telescope, ccd, solar telescope), and we made visual observations of the Sun. If we exclude the variable star in Aquila, in the night we did not observe further because of lousy weather.
Day 3
Data procesing from last night, and making presentation for the first briefing.
Day 4
After talk and decision that we'll 'specialise' in one thing only we made further observation during the night using our telescope.
Day 5
Procesing of the data made last night, and decision to use the telescope on Sicily because of bad weather. Preparations for briefing tomorrow.
Day 6
The second briefing. Imaging at night from Sicily.
Day 7
Exursion, very trublesome and sweaty. We defragmented HD and made disc-cleanup on the two computers in order for them to work faster. We also imaged couple of objects.
Day 8
In the night we located the comet 59P, and recovered two objects.
Day 9
Processing and interpretation of the last data. Preparations of the final presentation for last briefing.
Day 10
Presentation of our work on last briefing. Goodbyes, hugs 'n' kisses, stuff like that...
