June 12, 2013: Among the research options in the HST/COS CV campaign underway are observing two VY Scl stars in the low state, the only time the white dwarf is observable. OR And is now in its low state, at 18th V magnitude as of 2013 June 11 UT.
June 12, 2013: Based on your observations, the HST/COS team will be making the final decision tomorrow morning (2013 June 13) whether to observe BD Pav.
Your observations tonight (June 12/13) are CRITICAL. HST/COS is scheduled to observe the eclipsing dwarf nova BD Pav:
BD Pav 2013 June 14 04:40:42 through 09:46:09 UT
If you can observe BD Pav, a few V-band snapshots would be sufficient and very helpful. BD Pav is 15.4V at minimum and 12.4V at maximum.
