As you may already know, the Shuttle did not get off the ground this weekend, and I understand that it is going to be a few days, and perhaps a week, before they try again (something about explosive bolts - its always something). Anyway, things are obviously on hold. I will send another messsage when the launch is agian immanent and will reply to each of you separately in the next mail message if you sent queries which need a reply. Please note that at the moment we only have the nova-like variable V3885 Sgr on the target list. It is our HOPE to add Z Cam and AM Her, and a dwarf nova in outburst, if you becomes available. Perhaps with some luck we will be able to get some nice data. Cheers, Chris Mauche ----- End Included Message -----
