| Proposal | I would like nightly photometry on the SDOR variable PSN J12355230+2755559 (AT 2016blu) in support of Alert Notice #882. Once per day from now until January 20, 2026. Target is magnitude 16.60. Ten three-minute observations per night (30 minutes total), using an "R" filter is requested for the duration of this request. Thank you. Tom Rutherford (rth) |

As an addendum-- I do not have a VPHOT account so the data will need to be sent to my email account.
Thanks!

Are there any estimates on when I will start getting data from this request?

I realized when I looked at the data I received that I saw that the declination was wrong-- it should be "+27:55:55.5" and not "-27:55:55.5." The coordinate name has it listed correctly so I must have changed the sign when I filled out the target portion of the request.
Sorry about that--
Thanks,
Tom Rutherford (RTH)

DEC changed. Moved to mpo61 and tmo61.

Tom, we've had someone ask about observing this object since he didn't see any AAVSOnet observations for it. Have you been getting data from MPO61?

I received four observations in mid-March and about a week ago (April 7), started getting them daily. I haven't had a chance to reduce them however, so that explains why they haven't shown up yet. I'll be starting on them in the next few days though.
Tom
