Alert Notice 468: Observing campaign on V380 Oph cancelled

August 21, 2012: The observing campaign on V380 Oph announced in AAVSO Alert Notice 466 (www.aavso.org/aavso-alert-notice-466) has been cancelled at the request of the principal investigators, Drs. Joseph Patterson and Arne Henden.

The campaign was to monitor V380 Oph to make sure it was in its low state for HST observations that had been scheduled. However, it was apparent from observations submitted to the Center for Backyard Astrophysics (CBA) and the AAVSO International Database that the star was not truly in its low state but in an intermediate state, and thus not an appropriate target at this time for the research the investigators wanted to do with the HST.

On behalf of Drs. Patterson and Henden, thank you for your efforts during this campaign - your work is very much appreciated!
