Hello Boris, thanks for that information as it makes my results easier to understand. It's clearly a fascinating object. I obtained about 45 mins of time...
Jeremy, Polars tend to show large amplitude (> 0.5 mag) variations during their orbital cycle, even periodic snapshot observations, nightly or twice a week,...

Dear Boris and Berto, many thanks for your helpful feedback on Polars. Is there a list of less well characterised polars in the northern hemisphere that would...
... AM Her may be the best covered, but one of the most interesting is BY Cam, which I've been monitoring visually for just over ten years. There is a light...
Dear Jeremy, ... I feared so :) But you have your telescope every day, not only for a couple of nights per year... One of the main motivations in monitoring...

It doesn't hurt to add some fainter polars from the CV Atlas. As I previously mentioned, some of the lesser monitored polars might surprise you by their...

Wow, what a surprise when I visited the CVNet web site tonight (http://home.mindspring.com/~mikesimonsen/cvnet/index.html). It is featuring an U Gem special,...
150 years ago, on December 15th, J. R. Hind discovered U Gem while searching for asteroids in Gemini. To honor U Gem's century and a half of amazing, ...
As it's U Gem party time, I thought I'd share an experience I had with U Gem in 1983. During a routine observation of the field I noticed that star 'T' on the...
BZ Uma was reported in outburst earlier this evening by Patrick Schmeer. This is a (proposed) UGSU star, although a superoutburst with superhumps has never...
I can confirm your observations. I have so far about 4 hours of photometry, starting at 23.00UT, and the preliminary light curve shows no sign of systematic...
Hey, all. I'm currently on a family vacation and away from home or else I would have sent out an alert from the office about BZ UMa. We have excellent coverage...

Hey, all. The BZ UMa light curve looks really good. I especially like to see that we have many nice long datasets from a few people. And many of them overlap....
