(cba:news) V339 Del and UX UMa

[Joe Patterson]

Yeah, V339 Del appears to be a loser.  Nice performance at other 
wavelengths, but pretty flat in the optical.  Time to quit at optical 
wavelengths.

And for that matter, time to quit on UX UMa (even for the diehards). 
The periodic signals continue to amaze, but the runs are getting too 
short, and it's time to move on.

IGR 1955+00 remains awfully interesting!  And some time series on V404 
Cygni would be mighty nice too.
