CE Lyn has steadily faded 0.9 mag in the past year and is now off the faint end of the sequence on chart 108.02. Chart 108.03 will shortly be released that...
The last outburst of this UGWZ star occured during May 2001. Previous to that the star was seen in outburst during April 1995 and March 1975. This should be...
Dear fellow observers, Please do not be too excited. AL Com was already at mag 13.5 on Oct. 24.518 UT, so this supermaximum is already almost over. Anyway,...

Patrick, How come this wasn't reported sooner? Surely it deserved some sort of alert, even if the field is poorly placed at this time of year! Gary ... Gary...
John, Thank you for the e-mail. Forgive my ignorance but can you work out the RA and DEC co-ordinates from the SAO. Nick...

Hi Nick, I'm not sure if it's a full set, but John Toone will be able to give you those details. Worth having I would say! regards, Gary ... Gary Poyner ...
Hi Nick, All VSS charts are free. However, not all are in machine readable format yet and so not on disc. The majority of our charts can be downloaded from...
Hi Nick, Sadly not. Ideally you'd look it up in a planetarium programme such as Guide8. I'm not sure why John still quotes SAO numbers as I prefer to use ...
... Well, if I remember rightly, and as I telled someone t'other day, some bloke about a decade ago cross IDed all the BAAVSS binocular program stars against...
Hi John, Thanks for the info. I think the variation is this star was already suspected by JT which is why he suggested it be included on the Binocular...
There's a pair of 10.5 and 11.8 stars just about 5 arcmin West of AL Com I've just noticed, about half an arcmin apart, that's an uncatalogued common proper...
Sorry I have been radio quiet on this for a few days. My son is currently in Shrewsbury Hospital being treated for a nasty bout of croup and I have been non...

There was a bit of discussion on this object on CVNET a little while ago, as apparently it was once suspected of being a CV. One thing that was noted is that...
USNO B1.0 gives a red mag 20 ish and a blue mag 20 ish, within half a mag of each other, object within two arcsecs of this position, and it also crops up in...
To some of us all CV's are exotic :-) Fancy putting together a sequence then, as your in a good, chatty, approachable mood? :-) Gary ... Gary Poyner ...
... As I mentioned on cvnet-discussion a month ago, I have 4 CCD measures of the V381 Lac field during 1999, one close to the NSVS and AFOEV observations. It...
... My standard answer to all requests nowadays is "no". There's no SDSS data either, which stuffs it a bit. Therefore, consider the following sequence stars...
Hi Roger, I now have an Astro Physics 900GTO which I imported. This has made a great differance and I no longer spend 3 night trying to locate objects. For the...

... That's why a nearer visual or ccd measure would be nice, from the ranks of the rabidly CV, seeing as it was expected to be one once, would be most likely. ...
... The RR Lyr paper that came from the Venezuela QUEST project can be found at: Vivas et al., 2001ApJ...554L..33V plus some later 2006 papers. I know the...
... I can't find the date for the 16.0 measure. The other measures are 250+ days from 2mass unfortunately. I found the palomar quest site, it said "public...
If you can afford the Sky, the mount uses it, it might be viable. Howevere, Guide also runs many a telescope mount, and is not as expensive, so that's an...
