One of the targets is the polar QQ Vul, but the experiment hinges on the star being in a high state. We would appreciate any estimates of its current brightness. Unfortunately the brightest it gets is V = 14.5, so this may be too faint for most observers. In the low state this drops to 18th! Anything at all would be handy... Many thanks, Martin QQ Vul: RA2000 = 20 05 42 Dec2000 = +22 39 58 You can pull a 10' x 10' finding chart from this web page: http://star-www.st-and.ac.uk/~mds1/qqvul.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Martin Still phone: (44)-1334-463066 Physics & Astronomy, fax: (44)-1334-463104 University of St. Andrews, email: martin.still@st-and.ac.uk North Haugh, ST.
