The Dwarf Nova V1316 Cyg (GCVS UGSU) has been observed as part of the BAAVSS Recurrent Objects Programme since 1996. CCD observations (backed up with visual...
Hi all, I've been doing a bit of reading lately, and I came across the star designated V529 Orion. Now this star has been catalogued as being a recurrent nova,...
From Downes Atlas: "Notes: a spectrum of the nova candidate is given in 2000-28; the emission-line candidate (number 5) found by Fienberg (1995, Sky Telesc....

Dear colleagues, I have pleasure to report my co-discovery of exoplanet XO-1b, which today has been announced in a press-release by STScI. The exoplanet has...
Has the identity of this putative UG object been recently verified? I see in Downes (http://archive.stsci.edu/prepds/cvcat/) "no candidate" exists in the...
This suspected variable is also known as 'Scovil's star'. The chart I have been using is from the BAA or VSNET, I don't remember. I've never recorded anything...
Hi all, The thought has just occured to me, whilst browsing a forum earlier today, I see that geostationary satellites can be imaged from the ground, there are...
... Nope, doesn't work that way. Geostationary means the satellites will be trailed at 15arcsec/timesec if you have your telescope drive turned on. The ...
... Geostationary satellites are very obvious because they remain stationary, while the stars move behind them. This motion is obvious within a few seconds. ...
Hi all, I have access to USNO B1.0 80 discs dataset. The one problem is That each directory contents .bin files. How I can retrieve from these Files original...

I took a few frames of this field last night. At JD 2453891.71 the object was approximately mag. 19 (unfiltered CCD). It's too faint for me to do any work on...
Hi, I'm hoping to engage some of you to help me solve a problem. Last autumn I detected variability in the star GSC 3132 1448 which is marked as comparison...
It is with some little annoyance that I note that whilst examining a small subset of light curves of objects mentioned in the NSVS red variables' paper...
Dear All, ... this is a CV that we had identified a couple of years ago in the Hamburg Quasar Survey, but did not publish it yet as we did not manage to pull ...

Boris, Do you have a quiescent V magnitude - and more importantly, have you seen much activity? Cheers, Gary ... Gary Poyner garypoyner@... ...
Hi Gary, ... We got spectroscopy on two occasions (March and April 2004) and I-band light curves in May 2005. It is from those data that we suggest an orbital ...

Addendum: HS1055+0939 is indeed in the SDSS area, but did not get a SDSS spectrum, probably because it is too red to be of interest to the Sloan people. Boris...
