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!
