Dear dr. Kato,
I would be very interested to receive identification charts for both
GRO J0422+32 and PG 0943+521 as well as photometric comparison sequences.
In coming days and weeks I'll be observing at the 1.8 m telescope in Asiago
with CCD spectrographs. I would be interested to obtain photographic photometry
too with the Schmidt 67/92 cm telescope.
My fax number in Asiago is +39-424-462884.
Best regards
Ulisse Munari

Dear Dr. Kato,

Please encourage your observers to watch PG 0943+521, since a definitive
orbital period still is needed: the spectroscopic period I found for my
thesis was probably my worst ever. 

Best, Fred

  Mark and/or Taichi,
  Could you help Dr. Munari get a finding chart and the comparison 
sequence? Thanks.

Subj:	RE: GRO J0422+32

Dear Alex,
   I could join the observing effort on GRO J0422+32 with low resolution
330-1100 nm CCD spectrophotometry, 450-700 high resolution CCD echelle
spectra as well as photographic photometry (BVI bands) or CCD photometry.
What I need is a usable finding chart. I understand that a comparison
sequence is available too.
  Could you Fax them both me at Asiago ? I'm going to have observing time
at the 1.8 m telescope in coming days and weeks.
Thanks and a happy new year. 
Ulisse Munari (fax +39-424-462884)

Ulisse,
   I don't have a finding chart handy of GRO J0422+32 (I know what the
field looks like when I go to the telescope), but I will pass your
message on to Mark Wagner and Taichi Kato. Perhaps they could help.
   Good luck!
   Alex
