Proposal

ATEL 17256 suggests that V0572 Vel might be a stellar merger candidate, similar to V838 Mon. I would like to monitor this star at UBVRI until it fades below the magnitude limit of BSM_Berry and BSM_S.

Committed to Berry and S.

Two plans included, one short exposures and the other long exposures. The latter is inactive until you report that the target is too faint for short exposures. Both BVRI.
