This study presents measurements made by a team of four students in the spring of 2023 regarding target ASAS J134708-6350.3. Currently, it is classified as an EW type star on AAVSO VSX. We conducted a periodogram analysis of this star based on its historical data, which resulted in a period of 0.475093 days. Based on lightcurves compiled from ASAS-SN data, we confirm the target’s classification as an eclipsing binary, as the characteristic primary and secondary eclipses of an eclipsing binary are present in each period of the target’s lightcurve. In addition, images of this target were requested from the Las Cumbres Observatory and calibrated, and an RGB composite color image was created. The area in which ASAS J134708-6350.3 is located contains several other variable stars which we also investigate here.
