Carlos Colazo, Diego Garcia Lambas, Bruno Sanchez, Mariano Dominguez (Astronomical Observatory of Cordoba), and
Martin Beroiz, Tania Pe����uela and Mario C. Diaz (U of Texas, Rio Grande Valley) on behalf of the TOROS team reports:
The TOROS collaboration observed for a few hours Wednesday Sep 16 and Thursday Sep 17 at the
Bosque Alegre Astrophysical Station (located in Cordoba province).
Two instruments were used the 1.5 m reflector with a FOV 22��<80><99>X14��<80><99>
with a limiting magnitude of ~20 and a 0.40 cm reflector with a 0.5x0.5 deg FOV.
Due to the limited FOV instead of performing systematic surveys of regions
within a given error a few objects were followed for some time.
For Sept 16:
These are for the 1.5 m:
Object RAJ2000[h] DecJ2000[deg] AppMag
IC1933 3.42774 -52.78547 12.5
NGC1529 4.12222 -62.89993 14.52
IC2038 4.14835 -55.99074 14.3
IC2039 4.15066 -56.01172 14.93
With the 0.40 cm (Toritos) the following was followed:
PGC383392 3.98036 -57.98515 16.96

A crew from OAC has started preparation to start the follow-up campaign for
O1 at the Macon site (Atacama region), but it was not ready for G184098.
The analysis has not been completed yet.
