Distribution of fields among observers
The coordinates of the centers of the fields do not match. The main reason is the proximity of the very bright star Delta Dra.

The pilot campaign
| Z Camelopardalis | 08h25m08s +73d15m14s |
The goal is to learn what is already known. Thus, two expansion envelopes from the two last eruptions of the novy, which today manifests itself as a prototype of the cataclysm system with a boundary rate of mass transmission. It is also necessary to find out whether we can effectively compose images from different telescopes. This will be important for the creation of a “sharp campaign” strategy Therefore the instruction at the beginning of the campaign is brief:
All take photos from Cam in Half with exposures of 600s to 1200s until further notice. The highest possible gain, use dithering. Calibration images flat, dark to do as often as possible.
In addition to testing, this part of the campaign can already have an important scientific contribution. It is a confirmation of the lackluster arch on the left – up. That could be a remnant from the third previous blast.
