Hi,

In responding to the alert notice on Z Cam, I've posted the
following observation on Blue and Gold:
#TYPE=Extended
#OBSCODE=HJA
#SOFTWARE=AIP4WIN 1.4.25
#DELIM=,
#DATE=JD
#OBSTYPE=CCD
#NAME,DATE,MAG,MERR,FILT,TRANS,MTYPE,CNAME,CMAG,KNAME,KMAG,AMASS,GROUP,CHART,NOTES

Cam,2454978.7222,10.966,0.012,V,YES,STD,108,10.760,94,9.385,na,1,1231ebd,na

I tried a series for approx 3/4 hour in V, @22s/frame, which showed Z 
constant
relative to its C and K stars.

I just recently obtained a Johnson B filter, and did a cal on M67, so am
attempting to transform my b,v to standards.  Am curious that Z Cam shows so
little color, in fact -0.06 - is this out in  left field?
