Dear Sir or Madame, I would like to embark on a long-term monitoring project of BASW 1 (Classic Cepheid Variable in M31 with a period of around 30 days). I plan to use a 60cm telescope with at a good location. The peak-to-through difference in apparent magnitude is 1.4 mag. Is it at all feasible to detect the period using long-time exposures / stacking of images?
