[Aavso-photometry] ASAS182612

[Arne Henden]

Thanks, guys, for staying on this star.  It is easy to do, nice
and bright with good comp stars, but a real pain to analyze.
The eclipsing binary light curve is constantly varying (WUMa)
and the cepheid pulsation is of similar amplitude.  While we've
gotten quite a bit of data from Sonoita, having multiple sites
pick up the cloudy nights there, plus breaking one-day aliases,
help enormously.  We'll follow it the rest of the season and then
publish something, using as much of the contributed data as
possible.
