TIME			              42 nights
TRAINING RUN                          N/A
OBSERVER/TRAINER                      N/A
INTERPOLATED PROGRAMS		      ok
PREFERRED DATES			      none
ACCEPTABLE DATES	              any
ACCEPTABLE MOON		              any
CADENCE                               six runs of 7 nights/month
				      
PHOTOMETRIC?		              no
FILTERS			              BVRI
				      
SCIENTIFIC DESCRIPTION		      Continuing parallax/perturbation search effort. Requires one week/month 
                                      to catch appropriate parallax factors for all targets.

TITLE			              CTIOPI White Dwarfs
ID #                                  GSTU53
PI			              Todd Henry (GSU)
CONTACT			              thenry@chara.gsu.edu, 404-463-9954
TELESCOPE + INSTRUMENT                1.3m + ANDICAM
MODE (service or user)	              service
TIME			              not much! (maybe 4 hours equivalent)
TRAINING RUN                          N/A
OBSERVER/TRAINER		      N/A
INTERPOLATED PROGRAMS		      N/A
PREFERRED DATES			      none
ACCEPTABLE DATES	              any
ACCEPTABLE MOON		              any
CADENCE                               per star: one visit on any five different nights
                                      per filter pair: 5 sec, 10 sec, 30 sec for 3 ROUNDS (135 sec total integration)

FILTERS			              always: first V/K, then R/H, then I/J
# OBJECTS		              2
STANDARDS		              none, differential photometry only

SCIENTIFIC DESCRIPTION		      Differential photometry of two binary pairs to get JHK magnitude differences.
                                      We'll probably need help getting the exposures right!

TITLE			              Optical/IR Monitoring of Blazars
ID #                                  GSTU51
PI			              Dick Miller (GSU)
CONTACT			              miller@chara.gsu.edu, 404-651-1368
TELESCOPE + INSTRUMENT                1.3m + ANDICAM
MODE (service or user)	              service
TIME			              1.0 hour/night = 60 hours equivalent
TRAINING RUN                          N/A
OBSERVER/TRAINER		      N/A
INTERPOLATED PROGRAMS		      N/A
PREFERRED DATES			      none
ACCEPTABLE DATES	              any
ACCEPTABLE MOON		              any
CADENCE                               one observation set every 3 days

FILTERS			              always: first R/K, then B/J, then V/H
# OBJECTS		              4
STANDARDS		              none, differential photometry only

SCIENTIFIC DESCRIPTION		      Continuing monitoring effort of variable blazars.  Cadence of one set
                                      of observations every 3 days works well.
