I notice several U measurements on U Gem (no pun intended) over the last few days, which do not "look right". They are in the 13-mag range, while the V is in the 14 mag range and B is near 15.
I thought CV's were pretty normal sun-like color in quiescence? So, I would think the brightness in these passbands should be U < B < V ?
