Priority	Normal
Proposal	Hello!! Thinking about collaborating with the AAVSO 880 campaign requested by Dr. Gary Hawkins, I would like to request images of the stars EV LAC and AD LEO. The campaign requests images in the B and V filters, but I would also like to request the R and I filters, complementing the data for these stars in the four main filters. The exposure time requested by the campaign is a 30-second cadence, but I will leave it to the observatory's discretion, depending on the telescope used. Regarding the frequency of the images, the campaign requests as many nights as possible, but I also leave it within the possibilities of the observatory.

Targets
Target	RA (H.HH)	Dec (D.DD)	Magnitude	Telescope	Observation Frequency	Expiration Date	Proprietary Term
EV Lac	22.780481	44.33400	8.28–11.83	—	—	—	No
AD Leo	10.326742	19.87003	8.07–11.0	—	—	—	No

Ken, per the TAC discussion on this and proposal #588, let's do RI for this project on one telescope and BV on another telescope for proposal #588.

Dirk et al:

This Red Dwarf campaign requests full night runs. This could take every night for a year on 2 scopes to run as requested in campaign. What does the TAC propose be approved?? A time series on a couple of nights will accomplish nothing for this campaign since the flares are non-periodic.

I need more guidance from TAC before I am going to create a proposal. This is a waste of time.

Hello Dirk and Kenneth!!

I confess that I overlooked that in the campaign request the observations must be for whole nights and not for a period of time, for this reason, I propose to cancel and discard this proposal.
I thank you for your attention and dedication and I apologize for the error!
