I'll be attending the CV conference and blogging about it on Simostronomy. http://simostronomy.blogspot.com/2009/03/simocowboy-ready-to-roll.html Cheers, Mike...
Okay, we just wrapped up day two of the cataclysmic variable conference here in Tucson, Arizona. I'm trying to keep up, but it's a lot of information to share....

Hey Michael and everyone, One of the best things about going to these meetings is you learn what astronomers are really looking at, researching, observing with...
I can't quite remember why I added this star to my program. According to the Astronomer's Telegram, it was detected as an Optical Transient by ROTSE at 15.1 on...
... Hi Jeremy, Have you been monitoring it, and only seen it in outburst on 2008Feb25 and 2009Mar22? Or were these the only two occasions that you've looked? ...
Arne, I have been monitoring it fairly intensively since January 2008 and these are my only detections. Jeremy To: cvnet-discussion@yahoogroups.com From:...
Agueros et al. <http://arxiv.org/abs/0903.4202> identified SDSS J171456.78+585128.3 = 1RXS J171456.2+585130 as a new CV. They assume it is a dwarf nova. This...
Having analysed observations of KV Dra from the last 9 years, I am venturing to stick my neck out and predict the next superoutburst (and no doubt be proved...
Jeremy, According to recent observations- KV DRA 2454920.3833 MAR 29.8833 15.3 Vis. HHU -the predicted outburst has either just begun, thereby chopping...
Hi All, The AAVSO has decided to organize into sections based on star types. Each section will have a leader or leaders and scientific advisers to coordinate...
Yup, I saw Hubert's report, Mike. You'd better start sharpening the blade! Would be interested to hear further reports - keep watching, everyone. Go well! ...
I had several attempts at KV Dra last night/this morning, but just couldn't see it. The 148 star was very easy, and on one occasion I glimpsed the 157 star,...
All, This morning, I remotely imaged KV Dra with the Sierra Stars Obs. 24". KV Dra at 17.381 V +-0.371 on 2454920.93403. A single 120 second V exposure. Looks...
...well at least my neck is safe for the moment. Go well! Jeremy To: cvnet-discussion@yahoogroups.com From: Hubert.Hautecler@... Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2009...
And your neck will be safe for a while;-) I looked again last night and I did see again the star that I mistakenly took for KV Dra. I was GSC 4176894. It's...
Many thanks for the update, Hubert - much appreciated. Anyway the superoutburst will occur, the only question is whether it fits my ephemeris! Go well! Jeremy ...
Hi, For information my last observations of KV Dra LX 200 16'' CCD no filter KV DRA 20090316.113 UGSU 16.4 +/-0.05 KV DRA 20090317.079 UGSU 16.5 +/-0.05 KV DRA...
Too bad we are all scattered around the globe. What a great opportunity for an "outburst lottery", like a pool for when a baby will be born! :-) -bob...
... Forgot to say that there is ASAS data as well for this outburst <http://www.astrouw.edu.pl/cgi-asas/asas_variable/204448-0459.5,asas3,1.68,0,500,0,0>,...
Hot off the presses! V405 Peg may possibly belong to a largely undiscovered population of hibernating CVs. See the new paper by Thorstensen et al on arXiv: ...
