(fwd) Re: Eta Gem & vsnet-ecl 887 We have received the following information from Tony Markham. I've been following the VSnet e-mails about Eta Gem in recent months and I thought that the attached article that I wrote for the BAA VSS circular of Dec 2002 might be of interest. This gives the dates of forthcoming eclipses of many long period eclipsing variables. As I say in the article, dates are slightly uncertain due to uncertainties in the orbital periods. There is agreement with the prediction for V1488 Cyg (32 Cyg) in vsnet-887, but a slight discrepancy for V695 Cyg (31 Cyg), due to different orbital periods being used. As you can see, the next Eta Gem eclipse is predicted for Jly-Aug 2004. Best Wishes, Tony Markham (attached .doc file omitted)
