Dear Jim Bedient, > By those elements, this star should be at maximum on JD 2452739... tonight. I reported the following past observations of V4006 Sgr to vsnet-obs, measured from MISAO's unfiltered CCD images taken by Ken-ichi Kadota. 19990429.69188 9.40C 19990429.69377 9.43C 19990429.73394 9.50C 19990430.73538 9.40C 19990430.73442 9.39C 19990501.73213 9.38C 19990501.73329 9.38C 19990507.73164 9.20C 19990507.73260 9.21C 19990508.69657 9.24C 19990508.69731 9.23C 19990520.67766 9.15C 19990520.67861 9.12C 19990612.61487 8.20C 19990612.61597 8.22C Assuming the maximum on Apr. 10, 2003, and the period of 281 days, the minimum would have been on Jan. 16, 1999, and the maximum would have been on June 5, 1999. The observations above coincide well. Best regards, -- Seiichi Yoshida comet@aerith.net http://vsnet.aerith.net/
