>>>>> In about four hours the prime transit prediction window opens!!! <<<<<<
Lots of cancellations due to poor weather! Most of Europe, the
Southwest and Midwest USA and South Australia were clouded out. This
is why we need everyone observing as long as possible. Hopefully today
will be better.
Please observe as much as you can tonight and tomorrow. Keep your
SNR high and uncertainty low. If weather interferes, sacrifices to
the gods are allowed (how do you think our Sox beat the Yanks?).
Note that the Moon is getting near IL Aqr now. If your tube is not
well baffled now may be a good time to put on that dew shield or
something to keep the Moon's light out of your optics.
We've had a few data sets come in so far. No obvious transit yet but
some of the reported photometry is preliminary and will be refined.
Plus I expect most of the data will come in this weekend when people
have time to reduce it.
Light curves of the 1st day (so far) and 2nd day (in progress) and such here:

Good luck!!!
