Hi. If one is reporting results to this group, is ther some special format you should prefer? My estimate for 2009-11-25 21:07UT, JD: 2455160.3799, was 3.462V,...

Hi JD, Thanks for your data. I measured V at 3.5041 this morning so we are close. I would rely much more on the instrument data than visual. The eye has a...
Hi Thomas, Thanks for your data. Please use the double date for the observation date (24/25 Novermber or 25/26 November). Also is the JD right. Should it be...

All - I did some photometry of Epsilon Aurigae on December 4th at 5:00 UT. I came up with an average +3.53 magnitude in V light. Wow! That's sort of a big drop...
Hi Frank, Your data is close to mine and others. Last night I got V= 3.5509 0.0080. I think the out-of-eclipse phenomena caused data last week to jump and now...
