There have been quite a few questions about what to observe, what good time series targets there are and so on. I've put together some lists of CVs that have...
Hi all, The Sky Catalogue 2000.0 vol 2 states that T CrB had smaller (?) outbursts in 1963 and 1975. Regards, Eddy Muyllaert (VVS-WVS) Oostende, Belgium ...
... Wow, I did not know that! I just downloaded and printed out the available sequences from the chart page (and found a few updated charts in the process...
