Pollock (Applachian State Univ., and the Dark Sky Observatory), R.M. Branly (Broward Community College, Davie, FL), A. Van Werven (Broward Community College, Davie, FL and the Buehler Observatory)

We have conducted microvariability observations of the BL Lac, OJ 287, and PKS 1156 at the 0.9 meter Southeastern Association for Research in Astronomy (SARA) Observatory at Kitt Peak National Observatory, Tucson, Arizona, the 0.4 meter Buehler Observatory at Broward Community College in Davie, FL, and the 0.8 meter Dark Sky Observatory in the Blue Ridge Mountains, TN. In this paper, we present our microvariability observations and the long-term lightcurves of each object. The correlation of microvariability with events on the long-term lightcurve is presented.

We thank the SARA Consortium and the Buehler Foundation for their support for these continuing observatons.
