[vsnet-chat 275] Mira and others

[c.scovil@genie.com]

When I said that AAVSO has data going back over 130 years, I did not say it was
on line, but that it is in computer readable form.  The data currently
available on line from our WEBsite is for the first three constellations, in
alphabetical order.  It has been carefully checked for errors and duplications,
etc.  As more of our over 8.5 million variable star estimates are similarly
checked, they will be posted to the WEB.  Meanwhile serious researchers can
contact the AAVSO with their requests for data (individual estimates) on any
particular star.  Note that last year there were over 240 such requests, and
the number increases each year.  Our staff is extremely busy, but we attempt to
honor all requests within a reasonable time.

Regards,
Charles Scovil, AAVSO
