What is the status of the Z Cam Campaign?  There are fewer observations uploaded and some of the light curves are sparse that they may not be meaningful (see V868 Cyg for example).

Please keep observing!

Hello Richard,

To my knowledge, the Z Cam campaign is still underway. There may be fewer observations due to summer break, but it would be of great scientific merit to keep building long-term light curves of those objects to reveal their nature. Some of the stars of interest are in the target tool, and they seem to be well observed:

 We welcome recommendations of stars that need to be included in this list - I am sure we missed some important ones!

I hope this helps.

Best wishes - clear skies,

Stella.
