Proposal

These are the first two targets proposed in Alert Notice 838 Monitoring 11 dwarf novae in support of HST observations.
Please use V filter
Please image nightly beginning immediately and continue until December 31
Suggest doing 3 back-back-back images on each iteration (obviously this is your call, but I've always done this as you never know when satellite or airplane will intrude on the target
I will be monitoring the HST target dates and will alter observation requests for this (and subsequent targets) as need be

Targets
Target RA (H.HH) Dec (D.DD) Magnitude Telescope Observation Frequency Expiration Date Proprietary Term
BF Eri 4.658319 -4.59969 15.2–12.3 MPO61 1 Dec. 31, 2023 No
KZ Gem 6.884014 16.66631 17.6–14.0 MPO61 1 Dec. 31, 2023 No

An email regarding this proposal said changes were made. The one change I see is to the ra and dec. Would you prefer they be entered H.HH and D.DD as opposed to HH MM SS? I entered them as I did because that was how they appeared in the request for observations (alert notice 838). I am happy to convert in the future if you so wish.

Also, alert notice 838 requests that an SNR ~20.

From Arne:
"KZ Gem has a close, brighter, companion to the north that will be difficult to avoid. I'd prefer a couple of test exposures for KZ Gem and make sure that the proposer can do good photometry on the field before proceeding with it."
