The LPV CCD Program for PKV

Hi all...  I have been using the Sierra Stars 24" in CA over the last couple of years...  Over time, I have migrated from trying to capture unfiltered CV outbursts to trying to capture the minimum of legacy and under-observered LPV's in Johnson V...  My LPV program includes the following stars and I try to do a 5 to 7 day cadence:

R AND, U AND, X AND, RS AQL, X AQL, Z BOO, U CAP, U CAS, R CET, S CET, W CRB, R GEM, RS LYR, W LYR, Z LYR, R OPH, S OPH, T OPH, R SER, R TAU,  V TAU, RR VIR and I will be adding others in the near future... 

The Sierra Stars 24" is cheap at $0.85 per 30 second V exposure...  Such an exposure can get down to magnitude 15.5 easily (or slightly deeper) at +-0.1 error...  And an automatic download to VPHOT also !!!  Check out my CCD results for the above stars on the LCG...

I try to hit the minimums with CCD and hit the maximums either visually or with a DSLR...  I hope to be using my Canon XSi (450D) for photometry brighter than magnitude 9 in the near future...  I is amazing to see what my Canon and a 200mm. telephoto will do at ASA 800 with a 3 to 5 second exposure...
