Note: Note: Observations of V694 Mon are scheduled for 11 March 2020 with HST, and for 22 March 2020 with XMM. Please continue to observe as indicated in Alert Notice 695 but with the high-intensity coverage taking place March 9 through March 14 and March 19 through March 25. - Elizabeth O. Waagen, 6 March 2020
Note: Continued observations in all bands (particularly B and V) and spectroscopy are extremely important. Please continue nightly observations until further notice. - Elizabeth O. Waagen, 31 January 2020
Note: The exact schedules for the Chandra and HST observations of R Aqr (Alert Notice 689) are as follow:

March 8, 2019: Further to AAVSO Alert Notice 652, Dr. Koji Mukai (NASA-Greenbelt Space Flight Center) informs us that 1SWASP J022916.91-395901.4, one of the novalike variables in his target list, will be observed with Chandra on 2019 March 11 22:35 UT - 2019 March 12 02:45 UT.
January 28, 2019: AAVSO Alert Notice 659 announced that the nova-like variable KQ Mon will be observed with Chandra on 2019 January 29-30 UT. The exact time interval given was incorrect.
KQ Mon will be observed with Chandra on
2019 January 29 20:18 UT - January 30 00:28 UT.
A snapshot every one to two nights is requested between now and February 9. V filter is optimal. Visual observations are welcome. The visual range of KQ Mon is 12.5-13.7.
Note: The time of the Chandra observation was incorrect in the original version of this Alert Notice. The text below has been edited so that the time is correct. This correction was announced in AAVSO Alert Notice 661. - Elizabeth Waagen
December 3, 2018: Further to AAVSO Alert Notice 652, Dr. Koji Mukai (NASA-Greenbelt Space Flight Center) informs us that EC 21178-5417, one of the novalike variables in his target list, will be observed with Chandra on 2018 December 5 20:18 UT - December 6 01:00 UT.
November 21, 2018: Dr. Hans Moritz Guenther (MIT; Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research) and colleagues have requested AAVSO observers' assistance in monitoring several HerbigAeBe stars in support of upcoming observations scheduled with Chandra.
