Announcement: AAVSO Special Notice

A New Electronic Publication

The AAVSO Special Notice (ASN) will include announcements on interesting and/or rare stellar activity that do not involve new coordinated campaigns. The goal is for the ASN to be quick and brief. Should the announcement warrant further attention, it may be followed by an Alert Notice.

This publication will replace the "Special MyNewsFlash", which will no longer be issued.

*Current MyNewsFlash subscribers: you are not automatically subscribed to this new service. You may subscribe to the new Special Notice by either replying to this e-mail with "subscribe" or by visiting this URL:

As a reminder, the Alert Notice will now be used to announce major events, major discoveries, requests for observations, and new campaigns coordinated by headquarters. Follow-up will be done through Eyepiece Views and CCD Views.

Much more information on this new electronic publication as well as a summary of the most current publication plans to alert observers of stellar activity is available on the website at: http://www.aavso.org/news/announcement.shtml.
