Hey, all. I'd like to thank those who have been dillgently following Var Her
04 this summer, especially in Ic. The data is turning out to be very
interesting. In fact, I'd like to informally ask for an increase in
monitoring of Var Her 04 through the end of September. Please take one
observation in V and in Ic every clear night that you are able. It is *very*
important that you use the correct comparison star values so please download
the Var Her 04 f-scale chart from the URL below. Even if you think you
already have the right one, redownload this one just to be sure. There was
some confusion with the Ic comp stars last spring.
Please take care to make your observation as accurate as possible. Stack to
get a good SNR. Also, make note of the aperture you are using. There is a
nearby star 4-5 arc seconds away. Make sure your aperture includes it
completely and doesn't fall across it. And please submit your data as soon
as it is ready because we are actively working on this star and every good
data point counts!
