[vsnet-alert 6303] WZ Sge: details from last night

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

Dear Colleagues,
my latest light curve is now available at:

http://vsnet.eurolink.it/comets/wzsge.htm

For your convenience, I report here my previous comment. 

Despite of the passing clouds, I managed to get 3 hours of very beautiful data on Aug.
15/16. The light
curve is amazing: eclipses are deep and the star enters eclipses arriving from its higher
peak. Just after the beginning of the recovery, the star experiences a secondary hump, of
about 0.07 mag., with another minor fading, followed by another hump, another fading and,
finally, it reaches the maximum. So, within the phases 0 -> 1, there are three ascending
maxima, starting from the eclipse and ending with the higher one, going directly into the
eclipse. So, a triple-humped profile!

The star in now 0.05 mag fainter than yesterday.

Regards,
Gianluca
