1999 Mark III Data Collecting Season

[Glenn Gombert <gleng@infinet.com>]

Hello,
        While Tom is busy geting the "kinks" out of the Mark IV RA drive,I
am about to start another season of taking data iwht the Mark III here in
Dayton. There is just not enough clear weather from November till the end of
March to get enough points to make decent light-curves of long-term period
variables.

        I should have enougth data by the end of the season to publish
light-curves and periods of many new long term variables (several dozen at
least)....

        With a stable "data processing" pipeline I will probably collect
data heavily till the end of the season here in Dayton with the existing
Mark III camera.I hope that other sites plan to continue to collect Mark III
data as well.

Clear Skies,
Glenn G.
