Outburst

Hello Klaus

Thanks for posting this outburst.   I got 3 hours two nights ago, and 11 hours last night in BVI.  I will reduce the data later today and post.

I got about 3 hours in V last

I got about 3 hours in V last night. It is still at about 12.6. It increased about 0.05 over the first half then switched direction and dropped about 0.04 after that. Data is uploaded. No other data appears to have been uploaded yet other than a single observation on the Nov 3.
