Time system is Universal Time. Magnitudes were calculated from the fractional
method or Pogson's step method. CL = class: estimated accuracy of observation;
1 = good (+/- 0.1 mag.), 2 = fair (+/- 0.2 mag.). Instrument (aperture in mm):
B = binoculars, C = Schmidt-Cassegrain reflector, M = Newtonian reflector. New
observations since report no. 2 (December 13) are marked with an asterisk (*). Comparison stars:
