Special Notice #76: Support for HST observations of SDSS074545, update


October 29, 2007: We have been informed by Paula Szkody that HST observations of SDSS074545 have been tentatively scheduled for the night of 2007 October 31/Nov 01 UT (approximate JD 2454405.56). Observations are pending ground-based confirmation that this cataclysmic variable is not in outburst and is thus faint enough to safely observe with HST. This decision will be made on the afternoon of Wednesday, 2007 October 31 UT, and so observations are critically needed during the night of 2007 October 30/31 UT (JD 2454404.5).
