Instruments: 20.3-cm SCT, 10x50 binoculars (B10x50). Sequences are from B. Skiff, HIP, Tycho and Ouda (V-mag), others are AAVSO. Observed during a break at work from Oslo on Dec 17 and Dec 18 UT in a mostly clear sky (cloudy leater in evening). The sky was nearly clear on Dec 20-21 and partly cloudy on Dec 19-20 and Dec 21-22 (high clouds). I will be absent and away from Internet until early next year and I therefore take this opportunity to wish all Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year. With kind regards, Bjoern H. Granslo [bgranslo@astro.uio.no]
