[Aavso-photometry] getting your data accepted in at AAVSO's international databank

[Aaron Price]

Dear Trupti,

  You submitted your observations correctly. These observations are for a star that has not 
yet been assigned an AAVSO Designation. We call these "9999" stars because we give them a 
temporary designation of 9999+99 until a correct designation has been given to it. Once a 
new designation has been assigned, we'll update the observations you submitted and then 
they will be available via the ligth curve generator. I will forward your note to the 
members of AAVSO staff who assign new designations so they will get to it sooner. They will 
contact you when the change has been made.

  Thanks for sending the data and congrats on your first observations!

Aaron

>   I am new to variable star photometry. about a month ago i observed iota bootes and send my observations to aavso. its not yet accepted in their parmanent database. i can find it in quick look section but not in generate a light curve section. how much time does it takes for our data to go to permanent database??
>   i am asking this because it is my first time and i want to know if my readings are right.. do they inform us if we make an error and our data gets rejected?? also i could not find any other observations of iota bootes on aavso website. this is strange because it is a fairly common and easy to observe star. i tried finding it with all possible names(i.e HD,HR. 44 bootes etc)
