(fwd) AL Com Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2001 00:57:26 +0100 From: Rudolf Novak <novak@hvezdarna.cz> Subject: AL Com Dear colleagues, therefore I didnot received no mail from VSNET for some time now (even my own ones), I try to tunnel this message anyway :) Just some time ago I stoped (because of clouds) my run on AL Com described before. So I was able to compare all data obtained here at Brno (I don't know state on VSNET team now). Light curve shows linear trend observed for many last days but data from yestarday and today seems to cover a dip. Yesterday I observed AL Com using 60cm Newton and when I finished Petr Sobotka kindly continued using 40cm Newtonian. Combined data show very rapid rising. The observation finished right now shows in oposite slow fading. This may indicate that the dip known in AL Com (and in V 2176 Cyg for example) was a tenths of hours before. I hope that VSNET data will be accessible soon form me (maybe Internet provider? :) to check this. Wish you good night Rudolf Novak N. Copernicus Observatory Brno P.S. I will update as http://ada.astronomy.cz as separate page with combined images showing AL Com in different stages during outburst. I'd like also ask VSNET admins to add those links to VSNET page and in a case of next AstroAlert to include them too. (second link is http://codel.astronomy.cz/ada/stars/alcom/alcom.html). Many thanx for your help.
