Proposal

Hi, I'm Sauro Gaudenzi, my observer code is GSAD, following the AAVSO 838 alert I ask for the use of a telescope to observe the cataclysmic variable SDSS J080449.49+161624.8, I ask that the observations be made one hour per night with 60-second shots with V filter and, that they be carried out from February 16 to March 1st. As with all goals for the HST, it will be critical to have a positive V-measurement 24 hours before the scheduled HST time so that the HST team can make a go-nogo decision

The TAC is skeptical that AAVSOnet can deliver on the 24-hr deadline. This is probably a project that is best done by individual observers.
