I've been away for a few days so I've only just picked this up but I agree
with Brian.
Indeed, I've been monitoring a few bright SRs with a 100mm lens + CCD for
a few months now.   We've also just instigated a programme to monitor some
similar stars for Tim Bedding (Univerisity of Sydney) and Albert Zijlstra
(UMIST, Manchester).   See the VSS web pages at: www.britastro.org/vss
