I had a very poor night on the 1.0m due to extensive cirrus from hurricane Marcy. Since there were many magnitudes of extinction, I was not able to work on my primary project, so I set the telescope up to observe Mike Linnolt's object. The light curve of the 155 comparison star can be found at http://ftp.nofs.navy.mil/pub/outgoing/aah/temp/hxpegxlc.png (you can see the effect of clouds!). This is quite obviously an RR Lyr star, peaking at V=14.8 and having a long broad minimum. Period is about 11hrs. Can we please move on to another subject?
