Proposal

Nightly observations of four UX Ori-objects are requested using one or several BSM telescope(s). These objects are the targets of a spectroscopy program run by Gösta Gahm (Stockholm Observatory) and colleagues using the NOT 2.5-m telescope on La Palma, and in a pro-am collaboration program Swedish amateurs provide photometry used by Gahm to plan and execute the spectroscopy, amateur photometry showing dimming event is used by Gahm's group to trigger spectroscopy on NOT.

Filter: V.

Update: observations will be submitted to the AAVSO International Database. I would like for images to be sent to my Vphot account.

The TAC suggests BVRI observations to maximize the scientific return.
