Proposal #594

I have studied RR Lyrae stars for some time, but due to some recent health problems am unable to set up my own scope for observations. I have therefore decided to broaden my horizons by finding new types of variables with observing cadences which are more in line to what is appropriate for the AAVSONet. I have somehow settled on the YSO's and am eager to learn more about them.

These will be my first observations of YSO's, and I hope that these observations will help me to begin to understand their nature. I must admit that all YSO's seem to have very similar properties, and I am eager to learn the nuances of the family. After a short correspondence with Michael Poxon I have selected the following candidates for observation:

Targets: AA Tau and DGTau
Filters: BVRI
Duration: 6 months
Frequency: Once nightly per filter
Exposure Time: As deemed necessary

Data will be processed in Vphot and submitted to the AAVSO database.

Thanks!
