    G'day CBAers,
    
    Just came back to town, heard the news about EG Cnc just a few hours ago.
    I've studied Jonathan's data, and the star's definitely waving.  But he
    can't of course get a period from the south, so this is for the northerners
    to jump with alacrity on.  Lemme know what you get!  Better yet, send me the
    data!
    
    And don't forget PX And in the evening sky.  Very nice performer, quite a
    beauty, in the northern sky.  At 15.1 but showing quite LARGE superhumps.
    
    And for the southerners, RR Pic is showing large-amplitude (0.17 mag) waves
    at mag 12.5, so it's a great, great target to do, especially now when we are
    getting long coverage on it from Chile every night.  Australians and New
    Zealanders take notice!
    
    More later when I've learned more.
