    OK, I'm convinced.  This star has faded too far to be a reasonable target
    for CBA photometry.  Nevertheless, the vigilance of observers, and
    especially Arto, as given us a nice data set ro document the superoutburst
    and superhumps.  We'll couple it with large-scope photometry next spring
    for a very nifty study.
    
    Over the weekend I'll summarize what I manage to extract from a quick-look
    at this data - though I suspect it'll be simply what Arto has already
    pointed out.
    
    HS2331+3905 is perhaps the best target for northern observers - though at
    16.5 a little challenging for bright-moon or cloudy conditions.  PX And is
    a very good target too, and not as demanding.
