Hi all,
Unless Joe thinks otherwise, we don't really want at a dense coverage of QR And,
but just occasional coverage around the expected primary minimum.
Just running ~4-5 hours around the minimum is typically enough for timing it
with sufficient precision (which is what we really want). And we just need to
capture several minima during the whole season - much better is they are well
spaced in time during the season. The whole idea is to track changes on Porb.
So in order to plan and optimize your observing night on this QR And,
it's a good strategy to have an idea of when the eclipse is expected
to take place. I'm listing below times for the occurrence
of the main eclipse as determined from an approximate ephemeris (which
can be improved, but that should be good enough for our purpose).
Enrique
