Scientific paper

We present the first results from a new blazar monitoring campaign at The Bank of Kentucky Observatory, located on the campus of Thomas More College. Long-term monitoring carried out with small aperture telescopes will be combined with microvariability studies obtained from the Perkins Telescope at Lowell Observatory. Combining these data and archival lightcurves, we are able to obtain a comprehensive picture of optical variability for a select number of bright blazars. With regular sampling, it will be possible to perform time series analysis on these data in order to better understand the mechanism behind blazar variability. This study focuses on the variability of the objects OJ287, BL Lac, and 3C454.3.
