Target already being imaged for PI (Fred Walter).

Ken, what proposal proposal number is that?

The TAC is in favor of this proposal. Still awaiting word on which other project has BP Tau as a target.

If the PI is already imaging it, don't waste your time with my proposal. No need to duplicate.

I searched the proposal targets and only noticed the PI imaging one of his other targets, not BP TAU. Perhaps I didn't look closely enough Sorry.

Yeah, Peter, we're still trying to figure out which project Ken is referring to. Stand by.

Committed to NH and NM. This is in P195 which I update regularly in concert with Fred. I just added BPEC as a recipient of the images in vphot. Go for it if desired.

WFM (Fred Walter)hasn't been adding data to the database in the last year. I'll at least do that.

Gentlemen,

Why Sr and Si? I know NH has R and I filters. Is this to match what WFM is from NM?

Yes, rather than creating a new plan, I just added you observer code to his plan.
