[vsnet-alert 13171] Re: (cba:chat) Observations T Pyx 110414

[Tom Krajci]

AAVSONet telescope BSM (Bright Star Monitor) will sit on that field 
tonight (1.5 x 2 deg FOV) and take BVRI exposures for about two 
hours...when the object sets in trees.

Eventually we will have more photometry of the field to provide the data 
you need.  Arne is currently on the road...so it may not be until some 
time next week that this information is available.

Also, we hope to have BSM-South (Australia) do better work than BSM New 
Mexico...better location for this southern target, and their observing 
window is six hours.

Should be mostly clear tonight, but windy...but BSM is small and will 
not be shaken by the wind.
