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) NGC4593 147.3 NGC5252 135.8 NGC5506 125.8 J1248-0632 144.9 3C286 134.5 J1331+0608 137.5 J1404-0013 128.6 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.
