Proposal

II am interested in monitoring Long Term Variables but have been unable to do this since our city installed the bright LED street lights.

I think that my last observation that I submitted to AAVSO is now approaching one year due to this light pollution

So I have researched some targets that would be of interest to me and I am submitting these for your consideration.
I selected these targets by using the AAVSO Observation Planner, AAVSO Charts, and VStar.

I have tried to group my targets into one area of the sky. All coordinates are given in J2000.

A V filter would suit my purpose for viewing these targets.

Respectfully

David J Dowhos

I should have included a cadence for each target of approximately 10 days in my original request.

Images sent to my Vphot account.

Let's do imaging in BVRI to add to the scientific value of this project.

Hi Dirk:

Your idea of adding more filters sound good.

I hope they can stick to the minimum ten day cadence...more of course depending upon the weather.

Cheers and thanks from Thunder Bay, Ontario.
