[vsnet-chat 1761] Re: [AAVSO-DIS] Program planning

Dear all,

   Regarding the star in need of more observations, we have somtimes post
"dwarf novae without recent observations" to vsnet-obs for a guidance.
If there is a further need for this kind of information, I would be happy
to provide on any possible basis and time-scale.  An example on Apr. 8,
stars without reported observations for a week is like (note the seasonal
gaps are not considered):

star       | last reported observation
---------------------------------------
BV And     | 990126 <149V Wnm
DX And     | 990310 <130 HSG
FN And     | 990210 <155 POY
FO And     | 990210 <148 POY
FS And     | 990124 <154V Wnm
IZ And     | 970825 <164 JEN
KV And     | 990316 <145 POY
KW And     | 990316 <146 POY
LL And     | 990316 <145 HSG
Var62 And  | 990210 <149 POY
AG Aps     | 990329 <150 PEA
DT Aps     | 990329 <150 PEA
UU Aql     | 990329 <152 PEA
FO Aql     | 990326 138 Stu
PQ Aql     | 981021 <151 KNN
V725 Aql   | 981217 <147 HSG
V991 Aql   | 970929 <139 Myy
V1047 Aql  | 960717 <185C Kat
V1101 Aql  | 960918 14.02V Oud
V1141 Aql  | 971006 <143 Myy

   Of course, we can do this for any types of variables.  This program is
distributed to the VSOLJ members, who may use the program to check the
immediate necessity of observations.  Unfortunately, this program is designed
for our domestic PC architecture, and may not fit to world-wide usage.

   VSNET also provides "VSNET CV Circulars" on 1-3 per week basis, which
inform nightly averaged magnitudes of all CVs.  Observers can consult these
circulars to see which stars are presently in outburst, and which stars
are lacking recent observations.  For long-period variables, VSNET also
provides "Summaries of long-period variables" on 10-day basis, which
summarize all long-period pulsating variables and some irregular variables.
By consulting them, observers can determine which Mira stars are getting
within the reach of the observer's scope, or which stars are left unobserved.
All of these online publications are available through the VSNET Website,
or by individual mailing lists.
