Proposal

I need some observations for this star. I'm doing a photometry tutorial with some french students. I would like to use V-band and I-band if possible observations and after we analyse the images, we want to report the data to the AAVSO and do a reanalysis of the period and range using this data combined with survey data.

Gabriel:

Pardon, but you keep asking for observations without providing any information about what type of star it is, what its period is and what observing frequency and duration you would like!

Do you really expect that modest scopes are going to give you much good information for a target that has an amplitude of only 0.04 mag when typical precision of measurements is +- 0.02 mag?

I personally would not have thought that such a difficult measurement would have been appropriate to use for training students?

What survey data do you already have for this target? Are you using space-based survey data?

For this star we can use ZTF data and ASAS-SN combined with AAVSOnet. It's hard for me to choose a star worth observing. Can you recommend me one? I would have chosen a higher amplitudine one, but i dont want yo request too much time. Sorry for the late response.

Gabriel
