[vsnet-ecl 333] DK Cam

[Chris Lloyd <cl@ast.star.rl.ac.uk>]

Dear VSNETTERs

From the Hipparcos data of DK Cam and the recent visual minimum observed
by Kari Tikkanen we find a very likely period of 12.218 days. Fractions of
this period do not look very likely. The next few eclipses are given in
the ephemeris and interested observers are encouraged to forward their
observations to us. The eclipse lasts for about 7 hours and is not very
deep so observations with a CCD or photometer will be most valuable.
The next eclipse is in five days time and is well placed for observers in
North America.

  Ephemeris for DK Cam       To=2448380.0000 +  12.21760000xE
