Hi all,

Cheers

Hi comp stars team,
 
I was after a sequence for AO Aqr - 22:11:31.90 & Decl.: -22:47:16.51  It;s an EW binary, with V Mag 11.0-11.6.  I was hoping for a BVRI sequence if possible, with a 60' FOV.
 
Thanks!

Bouncing email

I just tried as well and have the same problem with the email being rejected.

I wanted to make a request for a sequence for V425 Vel
10:16:20.60 -55:35:51.0
Mag range aprox V=  8 to 9
Be star
Chart scale E
I use a CCD and only really need B and V. The purpose of the measurements is to flux calibrate simultaneous spectra taken of this star that seems to be changing its spectra on a short time scale.
Thanks
