SN 1989B Light Curve Analysis. ... In the light curve depicting their observations, definite trends are noted, here is a "thumb-nail" analysis of the the magnitude estimations of the bright SN (1989B) in the galaxy NGC 3627 (M66). ... The observations were inserted against the V magnitude templete of BL, CCD photometric data, (Wells et. al, (1994) and a color trend (B-V) histogram of the mean type Ia SN (BL)(nutemp.gif).

... The J, H and K bands are characterized by a bright background, such a background is mainly due to the emission of atmospheric lines and of thermal radiation. ... If the source cover a large fraction of the slit, spectra off-source must be observed to adequately sample the sky background. ... The on chip integration time (time spent in each position of the slit) must not exceed 40 seconds in J and H bands and 60 seconds in K band. ... We suggest a sequence of 10 for each elementary integration time. ...
