[vsnet-chat 1943] Re: V500 Aql: eclipsing classical nova

[aah@nofs.navy.mil]

This is an example of where you really could use a bigger
telescope!  20th magnitude very short period stars are not
exactly suited to even a 1-meter telescope.  Haefner's results
from two partial nights of data are not as convincing as I would
like to see, though they are certainly suggestive of
an eclipsing system.  Anyone want to try duplicating
Haefner's photometry, now that Aql is in the morning sky?
It sounds like a fun project to me!
