[vsnet-obs 3898] the standard star BD+33 2642

Dear Colleagues,
                  On November 2-3 1995  I obtained photometry of 
the spectrophotometric standard star BD+33 2642. Surprisingly, it appeared 
to be going into eclipse on Nov 2 (decreasing by a factor of 3 in brightness)
and  faint on Nov 3. I have not yet been able to track down any 
instrumental problems. Although, since I was using an aperture 
photometer, I am unable to verify that I had the correct field on Nov 3. 
Since this result is so unexpected, if anyone was observing this star on 
these dates and can confirm or rule out that BD+33 2642 changed in brightness 
I would be grateful to hear from you.
I can be contacted via e-mail at jhw@astro.keele.ac.uk. 

                        Thank you,

                              Janet Wood
