delta Orionis Campaign

There is a Campaign to observe deta Orionis (Mintaka) the right most star in Orion's belt. The Campaign begins next week on 17 December 2012. Multiple observations per night are requested. Because the Star is so bright (V = 2.41), CCD photometry is very difficult. Even single channel photon counting would be near saturation. The project is ideal for single Channel SSP-3 BVRI photometry, however. DSLR V band is also a possiblity. Anyone interested in helping with this project pease comntact me directly at phxjeff@hposoft.com [1]. More information about the Campaign can be seen at   http://www.hposoft.com/DOWeb/Campaign.html
