Scientific paper

The blazar monitoring program at Pomona College's Table Mountain Observatory has now been operating for six summers. Initially only VRI photometric observations were possible; a polarimeter was added and tested during the summer of 2007 and a set of gri filters added in 2008. A total of sixteen blazars have been monitored during this time, most notably 3C279, 1510-089, 1611+343, 1652+398 (= Mrk 501), 1727+502, 3C 371, 1959+650, and 3C 454.3. The blazar 3C454.3 is particularly interesting, since it has undergone two outbursts during the monitoring period, in May 2005 and July 2007.
