Var Cas 06 -- Keep Going!
(8 November 2006)

Dear CBAers,

The new variable in Cas continues to tantalize, and it looks pretty
promising for an interpretation as a nearby microlens.  Continued coverage
is essential!  Please let me know if I can help with charts, etc. Over the
next 7-14 days the photometry will go a long way towards testing this
fascinating hypothesis!

The variable is GSC 3656-1328, and the comparison I recommend is
GSC 3656-1399.  V-band would be best, but I can use a different band - and
also unfiltered if you don't have filters.

Any more European data coming?  I have one night from Arto - anything else
in the pipeline?
