As for color, I find the star getting steadily bluer. However, I don't have much faith in the B-V values I have been measuring because of the low altitude of the star and the above-mentioned pollution. Don't quote me but last night the B-V was close +0.5. The comparison stars used were the five nearest TYCHO stars with V brighter than 11.7. All have B-V values between +0.36 and +0.96 so the atmospheric extinction corrections must be small (and none were applied). Let's hope that Howard Bond's man at CTIO can get a spectrum tonight ! It should be clear. Allo the best, Bill Liller
