[Aavso-photometry] Data on TheSky Variables?

[Sal Giambruno]

Now that I've finally become more efficient at making observations (and find myself in between jobs and having good weather), I find I have plenty of time to spare after making all my observations of targets with predicted minima in The Bulletin.  I would like to make good use of this time, but don't know what else I can be observing.

I noticed that in TheSky there are a tremendous number of variables and suspected variables - many more than are listed in the AAVSO Bulletin.  Out of curiosity, I picked one of these variables at random, I think it was LS Per, and tried to find AAVSO light-curve data for it.  AAVSO reported no data available, so I tried another, and another, all with the same failure.  Why is this?  Do these variables not need to be observed?

Thanks,
