HS2331+39 = And, and RX0704+26 = Gem
(1 December 2006)

Dear CBAers,

Olde Whiteface will be pretty bright for the next week - especially in the
north where the Frosty Moon rides so high in the winter sky all night long.
Bad for our quaint little enterprise.

But HS2331 is still quite well-placed, and not much threatened by nearby
moonlight.  We have a long observing run going at Kitt Peak now, and are
trying to get intense coverage of this star.  Among other targets, but this
one is particularly worth a special push.

The other northern star I wanted to recommend is RX0704+26 = Gem.  A little
faint for most of you, but possible... and oh, are you going to loooovvveee
THIS light curve!
