Re: [AAVSO-DIS] supernova field

[Tom Droege <tdroege2@earthlink.net>]

It looks like tass has been imaging this field.

For the night before last I have:

RA 308.8572 Dec +60.12166 JD 245382.55708  V 12.42  I 11.84

There is nothing at that position on 245381

I should have last night's result later today.

There might be something in I and not in V on earlier data and so tass would 
not keep the point.  If it is of any interest I could dig out the images for 
further analysis.  It is a tedious "by hand" project.  

There should be about 25 observations of this field in the September data.
