Dear Colleagues, here is my report on my last, complete observing session (Aug. 03/04). Despite of the full moon and a not very trasparent sky, I had another run ; the resulting lightcurve, covering about 6.5 hours, is of very good quality. The modulation reduced to 0.15mag; the two series of maxima, which I described since the beginning of the outburst, are now very similar, but the curve is not regular, as sometimes small-scale fluctuations are superimposed to the main trend. Main maxima are broader (even if sometimes they reapear a bit sharper), while secondary maxima are sharper. While this run, combined with data from Kyoto and B. Martin, gives a period candidate of 0.056769 +/- 0.000032 d (Taichi Kato, vsnet-alert 6190), it point to 0.057299 if considered alone. The very nice light curve is posted at http://vsnet.eurolink.it/comets/wzsge.htm Regards, Gianluca Masi -- *********************************************************************** * Gianluca Masi "Two things fill the soul * * Via Madonna de Loco, 47 with awe and reverence [...]: * * 03023 Ceccano (FR) the starry sky above me and * * ITALY the moral law within me" * * e-mail: gianmasi@fr.flashnet.it * * web: http://vsnet.eurolink.it/comets/ I.
