Meeting from 10/9/2007 at Oil City High School
We are going to get started monitoring our brighter T-Tauri candidates and generating light curves for them in the R and I band.
I (S. Weiser) have selecetd two targets to monitor:
SSTiau Name is 050511.5-064346, RA = 5h 5m 11.6s, DEC = -6d 43m 46.9s, Rmag = 15.3
SSTiau Name is 050517.4-063734, RA = 5h 5m 17.5s, DEC = -6d 37m 34.3s, Rmag = 16.7
Estimated exposure time - 180sec
Using http://heavens-above.com and The Sky planetarium software I've estimated we will want to be on the telescope in Perth Australia sometime between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM EST throughout October and November. Does everyone else agree?
Using the New Mexico Sky telescope (near El Paso, Texas), we will need to be on the telescope between 6:00 AM and 7:30 AM EST. Does everyone agree?
Meeting 10/17/07 At OCHS
These are the Targets I have chosen to monitor.-Nick_
SSTiau Name is 050730.1-061015, RA=05:07:30.2 DEC= -06:10:15.9
SSTiau Name is 050730.6-061059, RA=05:07:30.6 DEC= -06:10:59.7
Exposure time of 180secs, Viewing time from Oil City 2:00pm-5:00pm Est, will be using the Perth Telescope.
Telescope Time Reserved
FROM Tim Spuck
Sandy, I agree with you about the times for Perth and New Mexico Skies. I've reserved the following time in Perth. We can get time on New Mexico Skies as well from the folks at NOAO. Thanks, Mr. Spuck

Failed attempt
-Nick-
First attempt to take an image using Perth Failed Due to Weather. 10/17/07

TUTORIAL QUESTIONS
X-Dani-
1) is it giong to be interactive or informational?
a) are people going to be able to "plug in" the information and it's going to spit out a light curve? b) is it just going to be a "follow along paper" telling them how to do it step by step?
Perth Observing results 10/22/2007
From Dani ... we tried observing T-Tauri targets using the telescope. Weather looked good at 3:32 PM EST, but telescope stated "Conditions were not sufficient for Observing". Nick K also tried earlier, but got the same results.
