I was feeling pretty good about having submitted a bit over 14,000  
data points to AAVSO on 1930+53 until I discovered last week that the  
software I use to reduce the data (CCDSoft) uses the wrong time in  
it's reports (Groan!).

I reported this sorry state to Gordon Sarty and Arne Henden.  Gordon  
thinks the faulty data can be fixed at his end so I wont have to fix  
it (whew!).  Arne reports he's checked with Bisque and the software  
will be modified.

Not sure what to do with data taken since the discovery and until the  
software bug is fixed (Arne is working on that) but in the mean time  
I'd suggest that anyone reducing data with CCDSoft hold off on  
submitting it to AAVSO until the situation is resolved.
