Dear Colleagues, after a quite long pause and some days of rain, a beautiful starry sky is out there. I started time-resolved photometry on IY UMa around 19:10 UT. The star is still bright [a quick look at 20:10 UT gives it similar to GSC 3829:910 (V=13.5) in my unfiltered CCD images]. I'm using integration times of 25 sec, in order to get a fair S/N. I will be following this star at least for 4 hours, weather permitting.
