Actually, I've decided the trend I saw was due to the target itself - it 
IS a variable star after all!  Again, the target and comp star have very 
similar B-V (and V-R) values.

Is that book available on line?  I've been sending Bruce ExoPlanet Light 
curves and was wondering about how he corrects them for air mass.
