| Proposal | My Name is Jamey Jenkins (JENJ) and I am requesting B,V,R photometry with a cadence of 7-10 days for the following LPVs which are unobservable from my backyard observatory. I have been receiving photometry for U Ori and W Tau since 2024 and wish to continue them this next observing season with the addition of S Ori and Z Tau. U Ori and W Tau were originally requested on Proposal #477. Thanks! |

S Ori has abundant observations in the database, so we are not inclined to award time for further observations. See

Not a problem Dirk, thanks for looking into the possibility. Please continue with U Ori and W Tau however please change the I filter to the R filter...

Ok. Ken let's proceed with U Ori and W Tau in BVR.

Proposal 477 still active. Changed I to R filter. NM is in monsoon season.
