I have been trying to monitor ASAS182612 (the only eclipsing Cepheid in 
our Galaxy, I'm told) but clouds, equipment, and other things have made 
it spotty.  Nevertheless, I notice in the recent observation pages of 
the AAVSO web site that two other observers have been working it too - 
GKA and CTX (I'm ROE).

It appears that GKA is observing earlier than I and CTX is observing 
later.  Maybe that implies GKA is East of me and CTX is West?  (I'm at 
W90.5, N38.5 - Eastern Missouri).

The light curve is looking kinda ragged and I'm thinking to sit on it 
tonight from roughly 1:00 - 5:00 UT (sky forecast looks promising) and 
I'm wondering if anyone else would care to work this one too - 
especially GKA and CTX?
