[vsnet-alert 3922] QY Per 01/02/ Jan. 2000

[Gianluca Masi <gianmasi@fr.flashnet.it>]

Dear Colleagues,
a first sight to the data we've got last night shows the following features:

- Superhumps are still very prominent, with an amplitude of 0.4 mags;
- A rough estimate of their period confirms the one reported by the VSNET  QY Per team,
around 0.078d.

A light curve is visible at:

Regards,
Gianluca and Alessia

PS- We started another run around 16:55 UT; the weather is not perfect... but we are
trying the same!
