RR Lyrae Ephemeris

How to Use the RR Lyrae Ephemeris

The AAVSO RR Lyrae Ephemeris provides the predicted time of maximum for RR Lyrae and Delta Sct type stars in the AAVSO RR Lyrae observing program. These times appear in Universal Time in the body of the ephemeris table. The time is rounded to the nearest half hour, providing sufficient accuracy to plan observing sessions while, hopefully, leaving sufficient doubt about the exact time in order to eliminate anticipatory bias. This ephemeris is designed for use by observers at American longitudes.
