[vsnet-alert 5977] AL Com

[Rudolf Novak <novak@hvezdarna.cz>]

Dear colleagues,

therefore I didnot received no mail from VSNET for some time now (even 
my own ones), I try to tunnel this message anyway :)

Just some time ago I stoped (because of clouds) my run on AL Com 
described before. So I was able to compare all data obtained here at 
Brno (I don't know state on VSNET team now). Light curve shows linear 
trend observed for many last days but data from yestarday and today 
seems to cover a dip. Yesterday I observed AL Com using 60cm Newton and 
when I finished Petr Sobotka kindly continued using 40cm Newtonian. 
Combined data show very rapid rising. The observation finished right now 
shows in oposite slow fading. This may indicate that the dip known in AL 
Com (and in V 2176 Cyg for example) was a tenths of hours before.

I hope that VSNET data will be accessible soon form me (maybe Internet 
provider? :) to check this.

Wish you good night

P.S. I will update as http://ada.astronomy.cz as separate page with 
combined images showing AL Com in different stages during outburst. I'd 
like also ask VSNET admins to add those links to VSNET page and in a 
case of next AstroAlert to include them too. (second link is 
http://codel.astronomy.cz/ada/stars/alcom/alcom.html). Many thanx for 
your help.
