We are a primarily theoretical group, but close connection to observations is essential to keep us grounded in the reality. We spent three nights in Valašské Meziříčí with the aim of using 20cm telescope with CCD camera at the local Observatory. Although only one night was clear, we learned how to use the telescope, got familiar with basic deep sky objects, and tried processing time-series photometry on archival data.
