[vsnet-alert 6260] WZ Sge: data analysis from today's data

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

Dear Colleagues,

on Aug. 11, 2001 the sky was very clear and I started my observations at 18:43 UT,
unfortunately, around 22:50 UT clouds entered my sky, and I stopped my data acquisition,
restarting it at 00:10 UT. In the meanwhile, I reduced the 993 frames, once again getting
outstanding results, of very high quality.

The curve is dominated by a single, central main peak, having at both its sides two other
little humps; the one on the left is single-peaked, while the one on the right is double.
Their importance is variable, in the sense that sometimes these secondary peaks are
weaker, especially the one on the left.

The star stopped its fading, now being 0.1 mag. fainter than yesterday. I hope to image
for another three hours.

The light curve is visible at:
