    Re: TT Ari and Swift

    Good!  That looks promising.  And Arto's early start in Finland will 
    give some data at or near the 16.3 quiescence, and Terry Bohlsen's AU 
    observation (luminosity state not yet known) will probably cover two
    of the middling Swift orbits.  So we can probably say something about
    quiescent versus flaring.
