(3663) Dirk Terrell — Oct. 30, 2020, 11:53 a.m.: The TAC suggests adding B and Ic filters to the observing list.
(37929) Peter Bealo — Oct. 30, 2020, 12:14 p.m.: Sounds like a good idea. How do I do this?
If we add those, I think the imaging sequence would be: Ic, R, V, B, B, V, R, Ic, Ic, R, V, B
(4726) Kenneth Menzies — Oct. 30, 2020, 1:26 p.m.: Peter:
Plan committed to both NH and NM. Runs every two clear nights. Used BVI filters x3. Check exposure when you get email about images in your VPhot account.
