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) XTEJ1908 68.0 1548+056 26.1 1749+096 51.0 J1847+0810 62.6 J1905+0952 67.5 J1922+0841 70.8 3C454.3 122.5 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.
