new stars and such

[Michael Koppelman <lolife@bitstream.net>]

OK, data divers, I need a new star. Hopefully something where 14h < RA 
< 18h or so. I'm going to start looking, too. There may be some stuff 
all the way back from DS23 that I could do.

My RR Lyr star is over for the season. I'm going to poke around with 
AAVSO stars and maybe a CBA star or too in the interim. Meanwhile, I'm 
still working on my all-sky photometry, too. Hard in non-photometric 
Minnesota, but I want the skills, dammit.

The fervor over the ASAS data should be motivating for you guys with 
TASS cameras, since it doesn't get the northern stuff. I know Tom is 
grabbing data like a madman.

Arne, if you are reading this, do you think the two stars I talked 
about at the AAVSO should be in one paper, two papers, or zero papers? 
I would like to include the Patrick's WD model for the EB and my (soon 
to improve) Mv analysis of the RRab. What are your thoughts? I can 
provide powerpoint slides to others who would have an opinion. In case 
you haven't noticed, I long for co-authors -- I have no problem sharing 
credit.

Cheers,
Michael Koppelman
