    Prof. Boris Gaensicke (U. of Warwick) has requested timeseries photometry of a white dwarf with debris transits. The period is uncertain (days to tens of days). Hence very long runs are required.

    Boris says “We are currently observing the star every night with one of the 20cm NGTS telescope at Paranal, but this project would hugely benefit from multi-site data.” Longitudes of ANZ and RSA would be especially beneficial to get complete coverage.

    If you think you could observe this far southerly object, please contact me and I will put you in touch with Boris.

    Go well!
