XSS0056+4548 and TT Ari

I'm taking the liberty of forwarding this from Donn - who, BTW, was also 
featured in that Sky and Tel article on "killer amateurs".  I think this 
is just from Donn's data - imagine how well we can do by splicing it all 
together, including from Europe, where they should be able to get 10 
hour runs on this guy.  Arto should be able to start slightly after lunch.

Killer target.  And speaking of that, Olde Whiteface has probably killed 
our campaign on TT Ari.  I think there are still some runs out there 
unreduced, and we have an *abundance* of data for a quick and solid 
paper.  If you do try TT Ari in the next few days, try a red (ot better, 
infrared) filter.

Joe:

After two nights on XSS0056, the 3.08 hour period is obvious, and much
more so on the second night.

There are three shorter periods at 7.7 minutes, 8.2 minutes and 9.0 minutes
