Re: (cba:news) (cba:chat) CP Eri in superoutburst (Joe Patterson) [2013-10-05T09:18:45Z]

Hi Bill et al.,

We haven't observed CP Eri in a long time.  But in the past, we used a 
15th mag comparison star 60" E and 64" N from CP Eri.  Color a tad red, 
but not unacceptably so.  Others are ok too, as usual, if they're 
appropriately bright.  Remember it'll fade a few magnitudes, so the very 
bright comps won't be suitable.

We've only caught the superhumps in their full glory on one night.  And 
they're critical - superhumps in AM CVn stars are mighty rare!
