SCHED provides warnings at individual scans for distances less than 10 degrees. The distance from the Sun to each source in this schedule is: Source Sun distance (deg) NGC1275 82.1 3C111 92.1 LEDA168563 99.4 4U0517+17 100.9 MCG+08-11-11 110.1 J0237+2848 69.5 J0313+4120 80.8 J0419+3955 92.6 J0507+4645 101.9 J0512+1517 101.2 J0555+3948 111.0 J0607+4739 112.0 Barry Clark estimates from predictions by Ketan Desai of IPM scattering sizes that the Sun will cause amplitude reductions on the longest VLBA baselines at a solar distance of 60deg F^(-0.6) where F is in GHz.
