    Dear CBAers,
    
    Well that was another short outburst for YY Dra.  I still dunno what
    people managed to get.  If you got a couple of nights, you might want to
    get a couple more to establish baseline (comparison with outburst).  If
    you haven't started yet, it's probably not so good a target.
    
    PX And is performing quite beautifully with negative superhumps and a
    4-day signal.  I strongly recommend this one as it's sloping westward away
    from view (but still has a few weeks of good visibility).  For
    australites, TW Pic and RR Pic are the stars of choice now.
    
    Off for Thanksgiving vacation in a few hours.  Back Monday.
