Status	Allocated
Priority	Normal
Proposal	I had submitted a proposal for these two variables on two occasions prior to the new year (2024) but have had no response. Perhaps the system had a glitch? My name is Jamey Jenkins (JENJ) and I am requesting B, V, I, photometry with a cadence of 10 days for the following LPVs which are unobservable from my backyard observatory. U Ori W Tau

Targets
Target	RA (H.HH)	Dec (D.DD)	Magnitude	Telescope	Observation Frequency	Expiration Date	Proprietary Term
U Ori	5.930306	20.17519	13.0–4.8	BSM_NM	7	July 27, 2024	No
W Tau	4.465861	16.04339	13.0–8.2	BSM_NM	7	July 27, 2024	No

I see no evidence of the earlier proposals in the system, but the TAC is now considering this one.

Thanks Dirk...I suspect the glitch was on my end. Let me know how the proposal goes.

First series of images from NM received.

U Ori V @ 60 seconds X 3 is okay, B @ 120 seconds X 3 is okay, Ic @ 1 second could be increased in exposure; SNR is 242 but ADU is only 3683, more exposure and I could select better comp/check stars; this is a stack of multiple images to negate scintillation?

W Tau V @ 60 seconds X 3 is okay, B @ 120 seconds X 3 is okay, Ic @ 2 seconds x 2 could be increased in exposure; SNR is 306 but ADU is only 4489, more exposure and I could select better comp/check stars; this is a stack of multiple images to negate scintillation?

Thanks!
