Michael,
I think a key thing is to get a paper out. Last year it was really take
another year of data or write a paper. I chose to keep running since 3
years of data are a lot better than two. Michael and I did get out
S&T10. This could be edited into a paper. If the group thinks the tass
data is worth preserving, then perhaps the *group* could take S&T10 and
turn it into a suitable paper to "guard" the data. I think I do not
have the energy to do more than cheer on the effort and answer questions
etc.. With a paper, I think a home could be found.
Some thoughts:
1) Give the data to the AAVSO. Best done after my death since I am
pissed at them. The AAVSO is really the right place for this data. The
quality is somewhat better than AAVSO data but not as good as
professional surveys done at good locations.
2) Give the data to ASAS to combine with there data for full coverage.
