NOTES FOR TARGET FIELDS

1. The observing run consists of U-band photometric monitoring of the
variable B-type star HD 37479 (V=6.66).  Stars in the surrounding
field will be used as comparisons.

2. I think the exposure times should be around 30-60 seconds when the
star is directly overhead.  Feel free to take exploratory exposures to
ensure that the star does not saturate.  The 2nd night (2009 Nov 27)
is a minimum in the light curve of this star and its thus the most
important night to get as much useful data as possible.

3. As the night progresses (and HD 37479 continues to rise), the
exposure time may need to be shortened to prevent saturation.
Likewise, later in the night (as HD 37479 starts to set), the exposure
time may have to be lengthened. Ideally, in all target frames, the
peak counts on THE COMPARISON STAR (the really really bright one!)
should not be allowed to rise above 45,000, and likewise should not be
allowed to drop below 20,000.

4. As mentioned in 3, the comparison star is brighter than our target
star and thus it is extremely important that this star not saturate.

5. Use full chip mode, and one amplifier readout.  Please avoid using
the upper left amplifier (2,1).

6. Please adjust exposure times to allow the stars into the count
ranges mentioned above.  If the exposure time for the target frames is
too small (i.e. less than 20s, try using a different ND filter and
adjusting the exposure times accordingly).

7. Please center the image on the comparison star with coordinates
given for the telescope below.

8. ***IMPORTANT*** We request that the U Tek Set #1 (3575/600) 3"x3"
   filter be used.

1. Please obtain 10 bias frames and 10 U filter sky-flat frames
at the start of each night.
