Proposal

I independently discovered V572 Vel which appears to be an interesting galactic nova. I propose AAVSONet BVRI photometry at a cadence of once every clear night for the foreseeable future. All observations will be submitted to the AID.

Andrew:

Arne is also interested in this star. Could I give you images on Berry and put Arne on S? He happens to be very interested in the U band. Thoughts?

That's fine Ken, although not sure we'll be getting much out of Berry for a while this time of year. It's in my home town and the weather is just awful. Maybe Arne will have better luck with BSM_S.

Submitted to Berry.

I also put it on OC61 at shorter exposures. Report when target gets faint and I will activate second plan with longer exposures.
