* Class: 1 = primary target, 2 = secondary target, 3 = optional target
* Data: data request, 1 = VSNET core team, data will be received by
campaign report list. 2 = as above, in collaboration with
Hachisu-san.
The priority list is the basically same as on May 8. We have got
excellent data on OU Vir and RX Vol, and also started undertaking the
analysis of the new recent observations at Kyoto.
(1) IM Nor: If possible, take time-series longer than 3 hours (to cover
at least one "eclipse").
(2) V2527 Oph: no indication of brightening. Lowered the priority.
If there is no further indication of a brightening, we shall drop it
from our list.
(3) IY UMa: outburst missed or long overdue? If the outburst occurs,
please observe it from the very beginning of the outburst.
(potential target of opportunity).
Please closely watch vsnet-alert and vsnet-outburst for other new
outbursts.

We have been very glad to hear encouraging comments, and to know that
the new data reporting address is already very conveniently and actively
used in reporting recent observations, and most recent observation status.
We would also be happy to receive past observations via this campaign report
list, since it has been proven to be very efficient in receiving the data.
=== From [vsnet-campaign-target 1], repeated for new members ===
This message is sent to those who receive VSNET Campaign Weekly Summary
or who have contributed to VSNET campaigns.
The main purpose of this list is to inform the ongoing VSNET campaign
targets of primary importance to observers. This message only includes
short-term (approximately less than a few weeks) VSNET campaign targets,
mainly for time-resolved CCD photometry campaigns. There are, of course,
other targets with different time scales. Please refer to VSNET campaign
sub-lists and VSNET Campaign Weekly Summaries for the information of these
other targets or optional targets.
This list is "read-only", i.e. it is used only for announcement of
the target lists. Other information, as well as reports and discussions
on particular targets, should be directed to the appropriate VSNET campaign
sub-lists (e.g. vsnet-campaign-dn for dwarf novae). If you need information
on the objects listed, please refer to the latest VSNET campign sub-list
messages (and the latest web information on the VSNET page).
We have also set up a separate list for "privately" receiving
campaign observations. Nightly time-series observations, which have been
report to me, Ishioka-san or Uemura-san, should be now directed to
---------------------------------------------------
vsnet-campaign-report@ooruri.kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp
---------------------------------------------------
Reports sent to this address will be delivered to the VSNET campaign
local staffs, including Ishioka-san, Uemura-san and me, and are expected
to be more convenient than personal e-mails to separate addresses.
We refer to this address as "campaign report list" from now.
--------------------
The results and summaries from the reports to this list will be duly
reported in corresponding VSNET campaign sub-lists.
(Report may go to vsnet-campaign-data as before. This is a public list;
see [vsnet-campaign-data 1] for its purpose and restrictions).
