Proposal	Lot's of interest in this target in the news! I would like to acquire images of the "comet" 3I/Atlas to track its path and monitor its color in 3x BVR Data once a day for the next 2 months RA/Dec below is from the MPC ephemerides for 11/5/2025 for DSO35 I have access to the scope schedule and will update the RA/Dec there. The ASA scheduling software is not prepared for comet ephemerides, so manual intervention necessary. I am requesting DSO35 as its large field is best for a target with soft RA/Dec information. Target is currently 25 deg from the Sun. Will there be a problem getting the observation because the scope stops at dawn for flats?
