Hi All

Recent observation of UW Cen suggests the (record??) deep minimum observed by SXN near April 1 2013 at 17.8V is still in progress. On December 30 2013 I observed it at 16.4V. This is yet another case of an RCB showing a major fade lasting a VERY LONG time.

Stay tuned for more RCB news coming soon.

regards to all,

Steve

UW Cen Deep Minimum Persists

This looks like the longest deep minimum in (at least) the past 60 years. No wonder I can't see it.
