Hey everyone!

We're here for only two more nights and it looks like it will clear here 
in an hour or so, so we're roarin' to get goin' and time is short to do 
concurrent spec and photom obs!  We, of course, need help, so if you 
haven't jumped on the program yet, please do so!  It will challenge you, 
and you have the chance to discover new vars as two of our members have 
already done!  When our shutters open a bit later, we'll be doing the 
2nd half of the HMXB list with stars beginning at 22hrs RA and going on 
until dawn.  We could use coverage in time series or spot hits (batches 
of 5 please).  We have about a dozen observers helping us through the 
program, and we welcome more always!  Some of these guys are clouded out 
tonite....

Remember - the campaign ends in two nights, but the need for on-going 
monitoring of these stars goes on.  When we get time after this week, 
we'll give you a summary rundown of the results, but please keep getting 
and submitting data as you can!

Thanks to everyone!  we're having a blast and are getting excellent 
photometric data and spectra!
