Dear colleagues,
the first and primary aim of the campaign should be, to catch any possible ejections events as quick as possible and to document.
If we are successful in certain cases I suggest to take quick contact with the professional astronomy (A. Lobel et al., A. Aret et al., V. Klochkova et al.), they do have the corresponding analytical experience to suggest, what additional wavelenght regions should be monitored.
