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.htmlHere'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
