Abstract

(Abstract only) The 61-cm telescopes of the AAVSO’s robotic telescope network have been used to obtain multi-wavelength photometry of many recent novae. Few novae have been previously followed more than 100 days after outburst. We are systematically imaging all novae from the past decade. This paper is an interim report, giving results for the most recent novae, and highlighting where amateurs can contribute to the project.
