More on Var Cas 06
(5 November 2006)

Dear CBAers,

Keep after the bright new star in Cas!  We're pressing ahead with it on
every front we can: X-ray, UV, spectroscopy, calibrated photometry, and
time-series photometry.  For northerners, it's now a perfect target up there
in Cas, successfully shrugging off the challenges of the full Moon.
The nature of the star seems quite mysterious... a garden-variety A star
jumps 4 magnitudes, and still looks like a garden-variety A star!

Message on other stars later today...

BTW a V filter would be a nice choice for a time series.  B would be pretty
good too.
