    V1504 Cyg

    Dear CBAers,
    
    I wanted to add my voice to Tonny's recommending photometric coverage of
    this little studied dwarf nova, now probably in superoutburst.  If I 
    understood my recent mail, it was clear tonight in the Crimea and Belgium,
    and now let's follow up with a good run from the norteamericanos!
    
    I think the lunar invasion has knocked out RX1940-10 for the next 4 nights.
    By that time we'll have a chance to see whether the V1504 Cyg watch yields
    the hoped-for waves.  Elena Pavlenko's first report was positive - but at
    a period rather longer than the expected 0.07 d.
    
    V Sge's a nice target for the *really* bright nights, too.
