Hi Donn,

Oh, I'm not at Kitt Peak - just trying to orchestrate the run from afar 
(Boston, getting ready to drive through tonight's snowstorm).  Too lazy 
for the actual observing... which has been a tag-team affair, with 
Jonathan starting his segment tonight.

If you have filters, use R or V filters for FY Per.  It's bright enough to 
survive the filters... and because the variation is expected to be subtle, 
it's important to try to overcome effects of differential extinction.
