Thanks Jeff! I am looking forward for another photometric project and this sounds very interesting! Also, I can monitor Zeta with a blue (Johnson) filter. I...
Hi Frank, Great! I appreciate your enthusiasm Jeff Hopkins Phoenix Observatory (187283) Counting Photons Phoenix, Arizona USA www.hposoft.com/Astro/astro.html ...
Attached is an updated graph of total EW of the K 7699A line. The corresponding data points from last eclipse (Lambert and Sawyer) are very sparse around this...

Good work Robin. Once again, from our predictions in http://arxiv.org/pdf/1003.3617 C ring crossing 55705 — 55767 23 May — 24 Jul 2011 B ring crossing...
Thanks Thierry and Ernst, This will be a challenge. BTW, I have updated the Zeta Aurigae web site. Some changes. Jeff Hopkins Phoenix Observatory (187283) ...
All - Welcome to a new season. Well, the eclipse is pretty much over but it is always good to check to be sure. I did some EPS AUR photometry on September 3,...

All - I did some Zeta Aur photometry on September 3, 2011 at 7:30 UT. I am monitoring to get the baseline and to get ready for the next eclipse. I came up...

Dear Colleagues, I have a request for someone who is currently able to post on the Citizen Sky web site. I am still blocked and forbidden to post, but I think...
Hey Jeff, Have you talked about sending out a notice through AAVSO as well? I can ask Aaron or Matt to see what is needed to send out a notice if you would...
Hi Frank, I'm afraid I need to rant for a little bit to answer your questions. I've seen comments about CSky in the past on this forum and think providing a...
Hi Brian, Thanks for posting that. I have one suggestion. While 2-3 observations are fine prior to the eclupse and during totlaity, because ingress and egress...
Hi Brian, That should be "While 2-3 observations per week are fine prior ..." Jeff Hopkins Phoenix Observatory (187283) Counting Photons Phoenix, Arizona USA ...
Hi Brian, Again thanks for putting the information on the CS web site. I must agree with Frank on the visual observation precision. This will not be a good...
Changed to "We encourage visual observers along with instrumental observers. During the ingress and egress phases, several observations per night are...

Jeff - Would I able to detect the Hydrogen Balmer series on the Zeta's blue companion using the Rainbow Optics? Being that the secondary is a B7 spectral type,...
Hi Framk, From the 1985 eclipse B got down to about 4.75. Note sure where 4.98 came from. See http://www.hposoft.com/EAur09/zeta%20Aurigae/Plots/ZAurB85.jpg ...
