THE DELTA SCORPII CAMPAIGN

In 2009 we became part of the PROAM campaign for the periastron of WR140, a campaign that had the duration of 4 months at the Telescope MONS, in the Teide observatory, Tenerife.
This campaign was followed by a workshop at Convento da Arrábida, Portugal.
During this workshop the group "ConVento" was created and its main purpose is to facilitate and promote the PROAM collaborations.
That is how this campaign at the telescope IAC80, in the Teide observatory, is initiated, by initiative and under control of José Ribeiro.
The telescope IAC80 is property of the IAC - Instituto de Astrofísica das Canárias and the Institute awarded the group with 10 nights and the main objective is to determine the exact time of the periastron of the binary system Delta Scorpii.
These are the participants, by alphabetical order:
. Alberto Fernando;
. Anatoly Miroshnichenko;
. Joahn Knapen;
. José Ribeiro;
. Thierry Garrel
This campaign starts the 28th of June and ends the 8th July.
We intend to make daily reports during the campaign.

Alberto
