>Dear Colleagues, and what star would you like to ask to Santa Claus to see in outburst for this Xmas? :)< Dear Santa, For my friends- Gary Poyner- PQ And Eddy Muyllaert- HT Cas Maciej "Magic" Reszelski- He wants an asteroid named after him. Forget the outbursts! Hazel McGee- EU Sct or FS Sct, she already has an asteroid. Chris Jones- V550 Cyg or V1363 Cyg John Greaves- HP And- It's not a plate defect! Timo Kinnunen- Any of those RXSJ blah, blah, blah or NSVs he is so fond of. Gene Hanson- Anything that will get him observing again. We miss you, man. Andrew Pearce- MM Hya, or a new comet! Rod "Stubbo" Stubbings- V344 Pav. What a cool star field. Made a chart just for you. Peter Williams- All the southern RCrBs fade dramatically in one week. Taichi Kato- EG Cnc. With WZ Sge and AL Com you would get the hat trick! For me, the "bloody Simonsen star" V1062 Cyg or V1251 Cyg, a field that makes me crazy every time I observe it. Merry Christmas everyone, Mike Simonsen
