[vsnet-chat 5381] Re: V4641 Sgr: observations from last night

[aah@nofs.navy.mil]

Gianluca posted an image that identifies his comp stars:

If I have identified these stars correctly, I get:
RA      (J2000) DEC        V      B-V   U-B    V-R    R-I
18:19:21.64  -25:24:25.6 13.420  0.345  0.153  0.234  0.208  var
18:19:17.24  -25:24:38.5 13.756  1.653  1.907  1.030  1.053  C1
18:19:25.12  -25:24:40.8 13.433  1.182  1.011  0.689  0.592  C2
(It is a crowded field, and it looks like Gianluca's image is
unfiltered, making it difficult to identify properly).
  If these are the correct comparison stars, then there is a
very large color mismatch.  You should look at Sumner's
sequence or my .dat file to pick something closer.  This
will be of particular importance for such a low altitude,
high airmass field.
  Regarding C2, there are some close companions that may
be impacting the photometry at the 0.1mag level.
