Hi All,

For those of you who may use Skytools for planning your observing sessions,
I have created a number of observing lists corresponding to the lists of
stars in need of observing from the AAVSO Bulletin 70(2007). They can be
found in the "observing lists" folder of the Files section of the Skytools
Yahoo! Group
(http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/skytools/files/observing%20lists/).  All
of the lists begin with "AAVSO" and have a description appropriate to the
contents of the list.  I know that this is a little late in the year, but
I'm just now getting myself squared away for CCD photometry.  I'll try to do
the same for the next bulletin, but shortly after its release.

Note that in the list "AAVSO-SNO.stx", TU And is listed as HD 2860, and S
Lup is missing due to technical issues. Once resolved, I will update the
list.

I have also added a file ("Photo_std.stx") that roughly corresponds to the
center of various Landolt and Henden standard star fields. That way, you can
easily see which standard fields are overhead at a given time of the year.

Clear skies!
