Modic" <rjmodic@stratos.net>, Brian Skiff <bas@lowell.edu>,David Bishop <dbishop@vhdl.org> OK - I have derived the V magnitude and colors of the star now labeled number 6 on my chart at http://vsnet.astro.washington.edu/kevin/apo.html That star, just north of the galaxy, is a better one to use than numbers 4 and 5 (which are further away and more likely to be off the chip). For number 6 I get (with internal errors) V +/- B-V +/- V-R +/- V-I +/- 12.796 0.004 0.672 0.011 0.430 0.005 0.783 0.004 _______________ Yesterday morning I got some good frames on 2000cx. This SN was really found before maximum. You recall that I measured it at V = 14.00 and 13.82 on July 19 and 20 UT. Yesterday (July 27 UT) it was JD V +/- B-V V-R V-I 752.8828 13.279 0.004 0.146 0.009 -0.126 0.005 -0.414 0.006 How curious that the B-V color is not changing. There is a chance I can get IR data on it this Sunday morning with APO. Kevin (Brian - please derive the coords of star 6. Thanks.)
