ATTENTION: AAVSO Circular Contributors
AAVSO Circular Editor, John Bortle, has recently experienced a hardware
failure. All observers who sent their October 1998 observations by email
for inclusion in the November Circular should resend these observations
by postal mail as soon as possible so that they may be included in the
November Circular.
