I've been following the VSnet e-mails about Eta Gem in recent months and I
thought that the attached article that I wrote for the BAA VSS circular of
Dec 2002 might be of interest.
This gives the dates of forthcoming eclipses of many long period eclipsing
variables. As I say in the article, dates are slightly uncertain due to
uncertainties in the orbital periods. There is agreement with the
prediction for V1488 Cyg (32 Cyg) in vsnet-887, but a slight discrepancy
for V695 Cyg (31 Cyg), due to different orbital periods being used. As you
can see, the next Eta Gem eclipse is predicted for Jly-Aug 2004.
Best Wishes,
