... It is also 4 magnitudes fainter than V1280 Sco, so would not be used as a comparison star for a while; in addition, its red color would automatically...
Well, not currently, of course not, but they're churning the sequences out now, and again, it'd likely be too red for most to want to use, but with fields like...

Just for clarification: John mentions below that he made a mistake in doubting my one percent variability claim, because he didn't fully realize the low...
... Nope, I say one in a hundred is wrong, for the 0.1 to 0.2 V amplitude level, you say it's right. One of us will be right, coz they're dichotomous...

Dear colleagues, With V1280 Sco having become a naked eye nova, I made a chart with PEP(V) comparison stars to observe it. The chart is for chi Ophiuchi, an...

Dear all, I have made a couple of charts for the new nova in Scorpius. It is also in the epsilon Scorpii area! Actually, the same chart for RR Sco including...

Time-resolved photometry showed that the brightness increased by ~0.25 mag over ~30 mins then declined by the same amount over the next ~30 mins. Cloud has...
Hi Jeremy, we have quiescent photometry of this one - it shows a double-humped light curve from which we deduce an orbital period ~98min. Cheers, Boris...
