    Hey CBAers,
    
    An eerie silence falleth upon the network. The tendrils of
    clouds strategically placed over CBA sites has not gone
    unnoticed - but try awfully hard, V592 Her will not be
    passing this way again soon.
    
    The good stars after Hercules-set are RX1940-10=V1432 Aql, HL Aqr,
    WX Ari, and TT Ari/V592 Cas (coupled for smallscopers).  Note
    HL Aqr, at 13.6, is good for the small of aperture too, and
    astride the equator.  It has quite a small hump and not much
    flickering, so don't worry unduly about the ID.
