Hi all,
First off, many thanks to all pros and ams that took part in the campaign this summer. I am not sure yet, but I expect we have more than 100 participants in just observing. We have a lot of work to do in order to understand everything that we have observed. A few initial looks at some data here in Montreal has shown that we do indeed see changes in the variability patterns over a few cycles for WR 134. The hard work is still in front of us. We appreciate everyone's contributions thus far and look forward to the challenges and insights ahead.
Tonight is the last night observing at Teide - many thanks to all the Teide teams. We have a run here in Quebec starting in a few days - we ask for amateur support through the end of the month.
It's been a great campaign, and we learned a lot for how to keep things organized and what we need to keep things working well. We welcome your thoughts on the campaign as well. What was good/bad? How could we improve with large campaigns in the future?
We have an upcoming MOST run in October/November on a bright, northern O star. There will likely be a request for amateur support spectra to interpret the MOST variability fully. By knowing what was good/bad this time, we can better do such things in the future.
