[Aavso-photometry] HMXB Campaign is running once again - Day 8

[Richard Huziak]

Hi Everyone. 

HMXB campaign continues.  We have our shutters open and are hoping for a 
few hours before we get hit with clouds and maybe some rain.  However, 
the campaign does not require coincident spectroscopy and photometry to 
be successful.  We need lots of time-series photometry of all of the 
HMXBs on the list, so please give us a hand.  (And we will bow 
graciously).  Reduce your data to Gord's charts and send it in to 
increase your AAVSO numbers!  Tim and I are hoping for more good runs 
through this week until our last on Wednesday night.  But if you can, 
keep observing these stars as you can even beyond that time.  We're 
starting to build up a few good curves!

Note also that these are new fields and besides the HMXBs, we've had 
some new discoveries.  I have a new EA and likely 4 new dScts on the 
V831 Cas field, Shawn Dvorak has a new dSct in the LPH057 field, and 
Lionel Catalan has a new EA in the LPH058 field.  Lots of cool stuff to 
play with, and more data is always needed!  (Check your chart note - all 
vars know beforehand are listed except Shawn's and Lionel's).

Thanks in advance,  we've had about a dozen observers do runs for us.  
This is very much appreciated.  Keep up the fine work!

I am monitoring email throughout the campaign for questions, and Tim and 
I are sitting on the chat group for the same.
