Hi,
I am getting ready to begin observations for the RR Lyr Campaign 2013, and I will be doing simultaneous photometric/ low res spectroscopic observations. In earlier communications with Jean-Francois, we agreed I will be doing VRI photometry on a 20 cm scope and low res spectroscopy using the Alpy600 on a 25 cm scope @f/6.3
I have written 2 emails to Jean-Francois recently asking for some clarification on exactly what he needs, but I have received no replies. He is apparently extremely busy, so I am hoping someone here can give me some guidance as to what I need to submit.
My questions:
1. For photometric measurements I have the chart placed on line, but all of the comp and check stars will be well out of my fov. Would it be possible for me to use the following 2 stars as comp and check that are within my fov?
Comp GSC 3142:0068 V mag 8.6
Check GSC 3142:1114 V mag 10.3
2. For spectroscopy, in what form should the data be submitted? Should only the raw images of the target and the standard star (Vega)be submitted or should I submit ISIS processed profiles?
3. If ISIS processed profiles are preferred would should they corrected for atmosphere and instrument response, or will this be done by Jean-Francois?
4. I am uncertain as to whether all of the processing will be done by Jean-Francois using just the raw images. If so, I assume he will also need a copy of the flat, dark, and bias frames in addition to the target and standard star frames. So what degree of processing should I do and what should be left to Jean-Francois?
Thanks for any help you can offer. And if I have missed something, please let me know what else I should include when submitting data.
Cheers,
Keith Graham
