Proposal

My Name is Dennis Means. Obs code MSD. I am requesting observing time to support Dr Steve Howell's request in Alert Notice 441 for long term coverage of these stars. Also to enrich coverage of these stars in the AID. XX Oph is a unique type, Merrill's Iron Star, of unknown period. TT Oph, TX Oph, and EP Lyr are all RVA type. Cadence of 1 day requested for all stars. Also I would ask for observations from BSMs NM2 and/or Hamren if possible. I would request BVI observations for each star as follows:
XX Oph 4 @ 20" B, 4 @ 4" V, 10 @ 2" I.
TT Oph 4 @ 30" B, 4 @ 4" V, 10 @ 2" I.
TX Oph 4 @ 30" B, 4 @ 4" V, 10 @ 2" I.
EP Lyr 4 @ 30" B, 4 @ $" V, 10 @ 2" I.
I request all observations be placed in my VPhot account.
If you have any questions about this proposal please email me at dlm4570@triconet.org or in the AAVSO chat. Thank you.

For some reason 3 stars got left off the proposal when I submitted it. Likely my fault. I had entered data for all 4 stars before submitting. Is there a way I can fix this?
