Hi CBAers,

We still love NY Ser!  Don't be bashful about the star.  But if you're
looking something well-timed and plenty bright - nice light curve over
the ol' fireplace - try UX UMa.  I've been postponing it for years,
but we have a lot of quite faint targets now, and it's really the right
time to sic small telescopes on it.  U Gem is still interesting but
will perhaps return to quiescence in about a week or less - and is really
pretty hard to observe in mid-April.  Ursa Major just hangs up there for
borealites.
