- Hi Mike,
-
- Here are some results I got toning when I was observing the eclipsing
- binary
- RX Cas. Its period is about 1d 4h. I'm lucky because toning there was
- an
- eclipse and I observed a minimum. Could you put this message on the
- net
- please?

- night 11-12 August 1992 - near Full Moon, few cirrus and cumulus, in
- the
- suburb of Quebec City, half a million peoples.

- Unfortunatly, my observations end here because it was cloudy...
- In first approx, the minimum was between 0400 and 0430 UT. So,
- tomorrow,
- there will be a minimum at 0830 UT. For me it is pretty difficult to
- observe
- at this time because in my timezone it is 4h30 AM (EDT). But if you
- live
- in Atlantic provinces, Newfoundland or even in Europe, it could be a
- favorable
- eclipse.
