Alert Notice 758

Hi,

I will be using iTelescope to capture my images so economics will limit the number of observations that I will be able to do (maybe 10-12 per month). Will it be worthwhile for the campaign for me to proceed and any suggestions as to the timeing of my observations.

Richard Brown

Hi Richard,

Thank you for…

Hi Richard,

Thank you for you interest in this campaign!
The scheduled time of each HST observation will be published in the forum as soon as we know them (typically three weeks before the observations take place). It is very important for us to get a positive measurement in the 24 hours prior the HST observations. Could you focus your observations in that time window and in the two/three days before? Such observations would very valuable and helpful for us.

I hope this answers your question, but let me know if you need more details.

Best,
Anna
