    Dear CBAers,
    
    Strike this star from your observing menu!  I looked at the new data from
    Brian and Dave East, but I think the observing season now is just too
    short.  I also worked very hard on the data from the earlier campaign, and
    found that I could break the alias.  It's actually a very powerful
    negative superhumper, with signals at N, wo+N, 2wo+N, 3wo+N, 4wo+N, and
    5wo+N, as well as wo (the orbital frequency) itself.  Beauteous.
    
    So UU Aqr is the best target now, with Cep 1 for (northern) people who
    like to swim in the deep blue sea.  Tonny, feel free to make another pitch 
    for V405 Vul; I think Tonny is still observing it and maybe can make some
    sense outa the power spectrum, which I couldn't.
    
    IY UMa and DV UMa will both be coming out in Dec 2000 PASP.  We'll have
    the final accepted versions up on the CBA website in just a few days,
    along with V751 Cyg I reckon.
    
    Go Red Sox.
