Question for Dr. Aghakhanloo : is it a problem if I use I (Cousins) filter instead of R? I only have a 5-position filter wheel and the R filter is not mounted yet. I read in AAVSO guide that R filter gives pretty much the same information as I.

The observed light curve of AT 2016blu is primarily in the R-band filter; therefore, we only request observations using the R filter.
Dear Dr. Mojgan Aghakhanloo, do you need a photo of AT 2016blue at its maximum (Feb. 13)? If yes, where can I send it to you?
Cheers,
Ivo Peretto
