Terry I must congratulate you on the results you are achieving, absolutely sensational!
This is very encouraging to see amateurs going where some doubted possible just a few years ago. I have no doubt your skills will improve to fainter magnitudes and yes BOSS will no doubt be in contact from here on.
Often we get the spectra sent to us from our professional friends in Chile, perhaps next time we have one within your current capabilities it would be interesting to try and overlay them. I guess that's possible and perhaps send yours to them and see what feedback we get.
The next big step as I see it from an amateurs point of view is then to get CBAT to accept the spectra for one of our discoveries from an advanced amateur such as yourself. Perhaps this is where the pros might be handy in convincing CBAT based on feedback we get from a few future test SN.
What do you have to do to get to say mag 17? Lets keep in contact here this is truely exciting stuff.
