Dear CBAers,

Greg Bolt has found a very short period (~1 hour) in this star, which 
appears to be an outbursting dwarf nova of some type.  By virtue of that 
period, it's pow'f'l interesting!  And a decently good sky position for 
all hemispheres too.

And SDSS1524+22 continues to evolve, and superhump, and eclipse.  Follow 
till the last photon disappears from your telescope.

OT J102842.9-081927 = Catalina transient

    Most likely a dwarf nova in outburst (previous outbursts).

Dear CBAers,

These two recently discovered CVs have popped off, and are well worth a 
long time series (or two - or many, if a periodic term emerges).  The 
nature of these stars is still mostly unknown.

AM CVn has been mighty interesting, with data from Bart Staels, the 
Arkansas gang (Tut Campbell et al.), David Boyd, Bob Koff, and Mack 
Julian.  It's worth going for another week, especially for Euros who 
like the high dec.  In the next message I'll write a long piece about 
our last decade of coverage; the results are too fascinating to quit, 
dooming us, perhaps, to another decade of coverage.

But this is the season for *most* of the AM CVn stars, and I strongly 
commend CR Boo and HP Lib as the best targets for long campaigns in 
April-May 2009.  Except for the occasional mystery dwarf nova popping 
off, these equatorial stars should be prime targets for all.  Even the 
Euros, if they can tolerate these modest decs.

All the other "current targets" should be swept away - respectfully, but
firmly.  These AM CVn stars richly reward very detailed observational 
coverage, but are a lot less valuable when the time series are pretty 
scattered.

Happy observing!

joe

Thanks Gary.

....I realise I got two of the digits the wrong way round in the name. 
Should be HS1340+1524 (at RA 13 43 23.4 Dec +15 09 16) - sorry, my fault.

Go well!
