(fwd) Re: (fwd) observation of sgrv4641

   Since this issue is apparently of public interest, and there is no
decisive interpretation of Toni's reports, I forward this query:

As a bit of an intro first let me admit I am a newbie to variable star 
observing. I do have several years of "normal observing" experience though. 
I have had an interest for some time and have been following the VSNET list 
to gain some insight. I am starting to learn about how to take estimates 
visually and do them correctly. I have access to an AAVSO member here 
locally. (I hope to start submitting observations to the AAVSO and/or VSNET 
in the next couple of months. Do you have any idea what he (Toni) is doing 
wrong so I do not make the same mistakes? I want to be as accurate as one 
can be doing visual verification of variables. I am going to be using three 
different telescopes to do this. I have access to a 32-inch, 14-inch and an 
8-inch. Which telescope would be best for what type of variable? Eventually 
I will start doing CCD as soon as I am comfortable doing visual. Anyway, any 
advice would be helpful.
