(3663) Dirk Terrell — Oct. 25, 2023, 3:39 p.m.: This and proposal #439 have the same target. We can assign the each proposal to a different target. The main concern is that there are no nearby comp stars that fit within the FoV of the BSM. Maybe iota Gem might just fit if you provide a new center for the target field.
