    Hi Tom,
    
    If you can do a cadence time faster than 25 s, I recommend DQ Her - we 
    really could use some late-season timings.  And igr0023+61 would be a 
    good follow-on - another pulser, but not so fast.
    
    BTW I'm planning on bringing a bunch of students out to AZ in mid-March. 
    We have a week on both the 52-inch and 94-inch telescopes... and I'm a 
    little handicapped in supervising 'em because it partly overlaps with a 
    CV conference in Tucson.  I'll have some other help with me (likely 
    Jonathan); but I'd like to invite you to come spend some time with us - 
    and to help teach the students how to do photometry.  I realize you'll 
    have to learn the system there, but I believe you'll catch on fast - and 
    I expect you can sort of become an eligible observer there too.  In case 
    you covet a little more aperture here and there!
