Variable Star observing campaigns...

OK, in a conversation I was having with Gary Poyner the other evening (cloud cover again) I mentioned the various VS campaigns and their status within the VS/Astronomy community. It would seem there are a couple that require more observations and bringing to the attention of the astronomy community as a whole, these are:

The HQS/Polar programme initiated by Dr Boris Gaensicke (Uni of Warwick) from the originalHamburg Quasar Survey, a link to this programme and objects will appear here within a couple of days, this is in need of literally masses of CCD observations.

The Recurrent objects campaign http://www.garypoyner.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/rop.ht lots of visual and CCD observations on this one.

The OJ campaign (no not that OJ)! its the OJ+287 a Blazar of great interest. http://www.garypoyner.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/oj_camp.html

And lastly the binocular campaign http://www.britastro.org/vss/chartcat_binoc.htm on this one all levels of beginner can participate with a set of suitable bino's.

All the above require observations so if you can assist or require details do not hesitate to contact me.
