Wow!  Great target for the present full moon conditions.  We've never 
properly caught one of these. Outbursts are typically short, so hop to it,

Thanks so much, Enrique, for staying on top of the dwarf novae.  But 
also, it would be great if northern observers got long runs on BZ Cam, 
as he requested.  A bright star seemingly about to cough up some 
long-held secrets.

Dear CBAers,

Time to ring sown the curtain on BZ Cam.  The negative-superhump signal 
is roaring away, as it did last year, and the 100-day coverage is plenty 
good. BTW here is a fascinating pic and brief description of this 
amazing star:

http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap001128.html

Here's a promising new intermediate-polar candidate, with light curves 
from Arizona (attached).  At 17.5, it's not the easiest target - but not 
super-difficult, and likely to yield both orbital and rotational signals 
of good accuracy.  The coords are 06 14 12.28 +17 04 32.6, and the comp 
star fro these nights is at 6 14 14.72 +17 04 32.0 - although feel free 
to use a different comparsion star (this one was appropriate for a 1.3 m 
telescope, but you might want a brighter one!).

T Aurigae continues to be a very good target, too.

joe
