Of course, there's always lots of Eclipsing Binaries to do Time of Minima calculations for.  Some have some pretty interesting curves.  UX UMA is very interesting and V V UMA has a 50 c/d DSCT curve superimposed on the eclipse curve.  Check out Shawn Dvorak's ephemeris calculator to see what's eclipsing each night.

There's never a shortage of stars that need watching.  The only thing that is in short supply are clear nights and observers.
 
Clear Skies,

Hello Michael

You could help to solve the mystery of Bernhard 02 = 2239+30 =
observations later this year.

magV in ~ 34 d (double peaked) and a short period light change
of ~ 0.7 mag at min and <= 0.1 mag at max in ~ 0.21 that also
shows some flickering.
