[vsnet-alert 3877] QY Per

[Gianluca Masi <gianmasi@fr.flashnet.it>]

Dear Colleagues,
I've finished a 3.5 hours CCD run on this target (from 20:40 UT to 00:10 UT) , using a
SBIG ST-7, unfiltered camera and a 28cm, f/3.3 telescope (CBA Italy).

A VERY preliminary analysis shows the following features:

- clear superhumps, with an amplitude of about 0.2 magnitudes;
- a superhump period of about 0.7 days (this is a rough estimate, done with my own eyes,
as I have not a software able to perform PDM analysis).

I will post a light curve on my website as soon as possible.

All the best.. and best wishes for the incoming y2k!

Yours,
Gianluca

CBA Italy
