| Proposal | I would like to obtain B, V and R images for the variable star VZ Pictoris. This star is also known as Kapteyn's Star. In addition to having high proper motion it is a BY Draconis Variable. Right ascension 05h 11m 40.58984s VSX does not indicate a period. Would be great to grab a short session each night for a bit. |

Note from Sebastian:
"Beware of ID issues due to the high proper motion because it is nowhere near the J2000.0 position."- (4726) Kenneth Menzies — April 27, 2023, 10:08 p.m.
