Hello everybody, First some general remarks concerning an e-mail of Hazel McGee, then my observations of last night. In VS-NET OBS 23308 Hazel McGee is complaining about the high number of automatic announcements of discoveries of new variable stars. So do I. Do these announcements really belong in VS-NET OBS? I think most observers use vsnet-obs to compare their observations to the observations of others. The new discovered variables are at nobodies regular observing program, so why are they announced here? The best thing to do is to create a new sub-list for VSNET-DISCOVERIES. This way only people interested in these kind of messages get the information about the new discovered variables. If this is not possible, can the MISAO and the Tmz team put all their new discoveries in one message, like Bengtsson and Hassforther do? Thanks in advance! Yours, Erwin van Ballegoij --------------------------------------------------- Obs. : Erwin van Ballegoij, Oranjestad, Aruba AAVSO-ID: BVE Instr. : 11.5 cm f/8 Newtonian, 10x50 binoculairs e-mail : ballegoy@setarnet.aw atmosph.: clear, but from time to time many passing clouds all used sequences: AAVSO Observations for October 3/4 1999 star date [UT] magn.
