Hi all,

I set my C11 in Spain to image it for a couple of hours early this morning (6th Oct : JD 2460589.588866 – 2460589.697257) and got 132 measurements in an L filter. I used AAVSO chart X38448OQ and V magnitudes to get the attached. Average Vmag was 13.33 and there seems to be a gentle fade (the check star looks flat).

See attached for light curves and also the FOV with comp stars from AstroArt8.

Andy – are we going to add this to our BAA database? I have uploaded to the AAVSO db.

Cheers
Ian.
