Re: LR Com Observations?

["Thomas Droege" <tdroege2@earthlink.net>]

We get down as far as 16 for some measurements.  The biggest problem is for red stars where i is within limits but is dropped because v is not seen.  Possibly this is just in an area that we have not covered yet.  There is a pretty large area that has been covered only a few times.  Data is coming.  This is in the tom2 camera which has only been operting since about March.  If RA 191 degreess has not been crossing the zenith during darkness since March then that is the reason.  If it has, then I am mystified.  Perhaps just bad luck cloud timing.

Doug,

Looks like they are not there. 

I looked in my big list and found just one measurement.

RA 191.2786
Dec 21.6598
Time 2452780.59346
V 11.77
I 11.25

The measurement was flagged with a 99 so it is suspect.  I had to convert
to decimal degrees, so you get to convert back, but it is close.  There is
nothing else within 0.1 degree.  I would not trust this measurement because
of the flag.

Tom:
Thanks for the response.  I won't use the one observation.  I am a little confused, this star isn't in a crowded field and I thought TASS went down to about 13th mag in V.  Why do you think this one didn't make into the database?
Regards,
Doug West
