Proposal

I would like to apply for observation of 7 short period pulsating stars for my university project.

Please arrange observation cadence as follows:
1. Every clear night for 2 months for Cepheid: RS Pup & U Aql
2. Every 10 minutes for a month for RR.Lyrae: UV Oct & RR Cet
3. Every minute for 3 to 4 hours for 2 nights for DSCT/HADS/SXPHE: RS Gru, SX Phe & WZ Scl

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

#2 on the RR Lyr stars seems incomplete in terms of the cadence. Every 10 minutes for X hours every few days over the month? Also, what filters are you looking for? We generally like to do BVI to increase the scientific value to the data set.
