The basis of the data in this publication will be the observations reported to AAVSO Headquarters. The AAVSO NEWS FLASH will not replace the AAVSO Alert Notice. It will be more frequent and shorter. If you would like to contribute to AAVSO NEWS FLASH, please send observations of unusual variable star activity to: observations@aavso.org Please include the words NEWS FLASH in the subject line of your message. If you are affiliated with a variable star organization besides the AAVSO, and you wish that group to be indicated with the observations that you provide, please give the specific name of the organization or group and its abbreviation. Those who wish to unsubscribe to NEWS FLASH may do so by sending a message to: observations@aavso.org If you would like data from the AAVSO International Database for research purposes, please send your request to: Janet Mattei, AAVSO Director, at aavso@aavso.org We look forward to including your observations in future editions of AAVSO NEWS FLASH! ________________________________________________________________________________
