Hi Bart and Tom,

Counting your two, I'd say that closes UMa 6 out for the year.  I 
haven't extracted the timings yet, but the several we have in hand 
should break any loose aliases hanging around and establish a 
long-baseline ephermeris.

Strange star, UMa 6.  Obviously quite distant (K star at 18th magnitude) 
and yet high galactic latitude.  There may be room for it in the CV 
zoo... but if so it probably needs to go in one of the annexes, far from 
most of the animals.  I'll write up a quickie on that soon.
