Dear Dr. Kato and nova funs, The eclipses in V1494 Aql and its orbital period have been found and reported long time ago (Novak et el., 2000, IAUC 7448; Retter et al., 2000, IAUC 7537; Bos et al. 2001, IAUC, 7665; see also Barsukova & Goranskii, 2003, AstL, 29, 195). Unfortunately, we still haven't written the paper. Regards, Alon ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Alon Retter Tel.
