    Oh, I forgot to mention V751 Cyg.  This was a great campaign, one of our
    best ever!  Very fine contributions from Dave East, Cap'n Bob, and Lew
    Cook.  We certainly could use some help from other longitudes,
    especially if you actually have the data in hand.  The star showed all
    the normal signatures of negative superhumps, and quite grand ones at
    that.  By the way, John, would you buy this star as an SW Sexer?
    
    No trace of Porb in the light curve.
    
    We have a 20 day campaign, possibly enough.  There's merit in tracking
    the signal over longer baselines, though - so continue if you like this 
    star.  (I just wanted to promote AO Psc vigorously in the the last message
    since that's one we need to get newly organized for.
