Proposal

GJBA
I would like the following images:

Bright star scope - 10s, 20s, 30s B,V,Rc - total of 9 images fully calibrated
Faint star scope (35cm)- 10s, 20s, 30s B,V,Rc - total of 9 images fully calibrated

I will access with FTP.

NGC_7790 coordinates entered are J2000

I am testing software photometry methods, specifically aperture vs. PSF and need good quality images. I am a member of the AAVSO STWG.

Hey Dirk, I collected data for you with my robotic scope back around 1996? for a ASP paper. Florida State was where you were? I may be mistaken though.
I'm trying to get back into photometry with the STWG. Where are you working now?

Committed to both BSM-NH and DSO35. Gave you 3 replicates to increase number of images if you want to stack?

(4726) Kenneth Menzies — Nov. 23, 2025, 7:06 p.m.

Correction. Committed to NH and MPO61 since DSO35 does not have an R filter, only an SR filter.

Okay on increasing number of images. Either Rc or SR will work fine.
