Hi, I've derived the local parameters for Halifax Nova Scotia by
following an extinction pair across various values of airmass and the
secondary coefficients appear to be essentially zero---especially in the
visual band. So I am now thinking of shifting gears and adopting the
protocol outlined in Henden's book whereby a bunch of different stars
(at varying airmass) with (B-V)~0 are imaged. I was wondering if anyone
had a list of high-dec, bright (7.5-9.5 mag) stars with a color (B-V)~0,
and also they need to have well-defined visual and blue magnitudes so
Hipparcos data will not cut it. Any suggestions would be lovely =)
Also, here are some nice secondary extinction pairs that I am using and
you may want to add to your respective lists. I *believe* I got them
from scanning through Dave Lane's ECU but I was sent a number of
suggestions from wonderful AAVSO members =) Anyways, here they are:
HD96730 ( 11:06:52.69 +36:42:29.2 ), HD 97184 ( 11:16:01.55 +42:24:01.0
), HD92454 ( 10:42:31.14 +68:34:22.2 ).
Many thanks,
Daniel.
