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) MARS0240 59.4 MARS0300 59.4 MARS0320 59.4 MARS0340 59.4 MARS0400 59.4 J1820-2528 59.0 J1924-2914 45.6 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.
