transit object. It includes 3 comparison stars with photometry from A.
Henden. It can be downloaded at this URL:
http://www.aavso.org/cgi-bin/searchcharts3.pl?name=tres-1
Observations of the object can be submitted to the AAVSO under any of
these designations: 1900+36 or GSC02652-0 or "TRES-1 *".
Information on upcoming transit predictions and observing transits in
general can be found in the AAVSO Photometry Discussion Group archives for
September:
http://mira.aavso.org/pipermail/aavso-photometry/2004-September/thread.html
August 7, 2004
A d-scale chart has been published for Nova Sco 04#2. It can be
downloaded at this URL:
http://www.aavso.org/cgi-bin/searchcharts3.pl?name=n%20sco%2004%232
Please use this AAVSO chart for your observations so sequences are not
mixed up between observers.
Also on the chart are the variables V700 Sco (EB:/DM), V1081 Sco
(EA) and V1134 Sco (M).
Additional information on this nova is available in Alert Notice #310

http://www.aavso.org/cgi-bin/searchcharts3.pl?name=var%20her%2004
E and ER-scale charts are updated with more comp stars to fill out gaps
in the sequence. Since Var Her 04 is expected to rebrighten soon these new
comparison stars will be very useful. Both visual and CCD observations of this object are encouraged.

your observations with those made using the new charts!! ***
