The BAAVSS light curves go back to 1920. The minimum recorded during those years looks to be between 14.8-15.5 (again the scale of the plots on the BAAVSS web page makes an accurate determination of minimum impossible). The recent BAAVSS Circular - No 115 March 2003 - shows a light curve for SS Aur (from 28 observers) for 1996-2003 with an easier to read magnitude scale. Again it appears to be 14.8-15.5, with the mean looking like 15.0v. Has there been any CCD-V data reported which coincides in time with visual observations (+/- 30 minutes say)? That would be interesting to see! Is it likely that SS Aur displays large (+1 mag) variations in quiescence?
