Will the detailed Target listing that appeared in the Alert email today also end up somewhere in this forum?
Cheers
Gary
Apologies, I did find the listing by clicking on the Alert in the Forum Intro
Gary
Hi Gary,
Yes, I'll post the list today to both forum threads. Thanks for your interest in the campaign!
Good observing,
Elizabeth
Here is the target list for the dwarf novae in Alert Notice 758. The list will be updated as the specific HST date/time for each target becomes known.
Good observing,
Elizabeth
Targets: November 2021 – September 2022
Charts with comparison stars for the targets may be created using the AAVSO Variable Star Plotter (VSP).
Hi,
I will be using iTelescope to capture my images so economics will limit the number of observations that I will be able to do (maybe 10-12 per month). Will it be worthwhile for the campaign for me to proceed and any suggestions as to the timeing of my observations.
Richard Brown
Thank you for…
Hi Richard,
Thank you for you interest in this campaign!
The scheduled time of each HST observation will be published in the forum as soon as we know them (typically three weeks before the observations take place). It is very important for us to get a positive measurement in the 24 hours prior the HST observations. Could you focus your observations in that time window and in the two/three days before? Such observations would very valuable and helpful for us.
I hope this answers your question, but let me know if you need more details.
Best,
Anna

It looks like that RY Ser is in outburst from the data in the AAVSO database. I also measured it last night at mag 14.5 about.
