Dear friends: I caught V438 Pup in eclipse !! And this observation doesn't match with the 5.699 day period suggested in the Hipparcos Catalogue (that period doesn't even match with the own Hipparcos observations !!) It's been 3270.4 days since last eclipse and I don't think a period can be determined only with this data, but I'll try to do something. First of all, PLEASE DELETE the following observation because of a wrong identification: PSAVZ 20001225.0104 56 OSE And these are tonight's observations: ARIAF 20001226.0125 66 OSE CAET 20001226.0 80 OSE CAReta 20001226.076 53 OSE CETomicron 20001226.0 59 OSE CMAkappa 20001226.04 36 OSE CMAomega 20001226.1 40 OSE CMAW 20001226.08 69 OSE COLT 20001226.0 72 OSE DORbeta 20001226.0347 40 OSE HIP038226 20001226.0674 67 OSE LEPS 20001226.1 71 OSE LEPRX 20001226.0 58 OSE MONU 20001226.08 65 OSE Rapid rising MONV523 20001226.1 72 OSE NSV00768 20001226.0160 69 OSE ORIalpha 20001226.1 06 OSE ORIeta 20001226.0354 35 OSE ORIW 20001226.0 65 OSE ORIV1261 20001226.0201 70 OSE ORIV1365 20001226.0 69 OSE PHESX 20001226.0319 75 OSE PSAVZ 20001226.0278 56 OSE PUPL2 20001226.1 61 OSE PUPV365 20001226.0611 78 OSE PUPV438 20001226.0653 61 OSE Eclipse !!!
