AAVSO Special Notice

The AAVSO Special Notice is no longer published as of July 31, 2017. Content that would have been distributed via Special Notices is being distributed via AAVSO Alert Notices and posts to the AAVSO online discussion forums for Campaign & Observation Reports, Time Sensitive Reports, and/or other relevant forums.

July 5, 2016: Further to AAVSO Alert Notice 539, Deanne Coppejans and colleagues request optical monitoring of the Z Cam dwarf nova RX And in support of their campaign to observe it with the Very Large Array (VLA) in their ongoing radio jet research.

Deanne writes in a post to the AAVSO Forum thread on this campaign: "We are going to try and catch RX And in quiescence again in the next three weeks. The optical coverage of it is still sparse, so any observations you take of it will be extremely useful."

enter N Oph 07 for the object name. When conditions permit, we will obtain an all-sky calibration for this field from Sonoita Research Observatory.
