| 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. |
| Target | RA (H.HH) | Dec (D.DD) | Magnitude | Telescope | Observation Frequency | Expiration Date | Proprietary Term |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| V0572 Vel | 10.420522 | -53.52200 | 22.0–5.0 | BSM_Berry | 1 | Dec. 27, 2025 | No |

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.

Can you change the exposure times as follows:
SU 120
B 5
V 3
R 3
I 4Thanks!

Also, decrease the number of B frames to 10 instead of the current 20. Thanks!

Exposures adjusted. They had been auto-adjusted already!
