    Dear CBAers,
    
    Here's Enrique's note re this new discovery.  BTW I think he observes 
    with a FOUR inch telescope - unless he has upgraded (have you, Enrique?)
    
    I'm a little late with the notification - let's scramble and make up for 
    my tardiness!
    
    Beautiful Easter surprise.

    Subject: V1032 Oph seems to be an eclipsing UGSU

    Dear Joe,
    
    Just wanted to call your attention on this target.
    This is an UGSU type variable that turns out to
    display orbital eclipses. To the best of my knowledge,
    the UGSU+E nature of this target had not been
    previously noticed. I find P_orb=0.0795(3) d
    (using just about 4h data obtained in two runs).
    As far as I'm aware, observers contributing to the
    vsnet database are following this target.
    Maybe there some CBAers who are interested
    in keeping an eye on this target.
    
       With my observing conditions, I'm constraint
    to follow this target no more than 2 hours
    just before sunrise.
    
    I'm enclosing a plot of the today's run.
    
    Regards,
    Enrique de Miguel
