BU_TAU BSM_NH2b

Hi Peter,

I manually adjusted your exposures since the system has already started for tonight.  Ken will modify the plan properly for the next night.

Thanks Arne,

Great images, just pretty saturated!

Peter

One interesting thing I'm seeing in the 1st images is that there is only 1 comp star in the field. Everything else seems to be variable!

Peter

Hi Peter,

Welcome to Taurus. :)

This is one of the main star-forming regions of the sky, and young stars are almost always variable.  Often the variability is low, however, and an ensemble of "variable comps" will yield a good result.  Or, use the one comp in your field and be happy. :)

I see my first reports on VStar. But I submitted B, V and I data and only am seeing the V plotted. Yes, I checked all filters and typed in my observer code. Is all data not shown on VStar?

Peter

Hello Peter,

It sounds like you loaded your data just fine. The trick now is to display it on the plot. By default, VStar only displays visual and V data. To show other bands, click on the 7th icon from the left at the top of the main plot - the one that looks like a little light switch. This will open the "Plot Control" window, which lets you turn on and off different bands to display.

I hope this helps. Please contact me offline if you need a screenshot or anything.

Best wishes, Sara

Hi Ken,

I did try it and I see three nights worth of Peter's data for BU Tau in V, B and I.
It is important to both "load" and "display" all bands to see everything - they are two separate operations.

Thanks,
Sara

Worked. Forgot that from the VStar class!
