Not wishing to get people’s hopes up, but this interesting ATel #17041 was released just a few moments ago.

But Robins point on logging in each time is well made. It’s maddening! Why can’t we stay logged in if we want to?

Hi Paul,
If you’re now a digital subscriber to the BAAJ, you will no longer receive a hardcopy Handbook. These are downloaded from here…

Yes, it is brightening – and about time too.
Martin Mobberley and I have been working with Mark Kidger on OJ for a long time now (along with several Spanish observers). I’m sure he won’t mind me uploading his most recent plot from a few minutes ago.
We try not to get too excited when OJ does this, but it has been in a low state for a while now, so anything above mag 16 is worth mentioning.

My SLOOH image, taken on Oct 06.1208UT measures at 13.401CV using the AAVSO chart and sequence.
Ian: I’ll be uploading my CCD observations to the BAAVSS database shortly. The software will detect that this is a new object, and will create a new file with the name I upload it with – which is GOTO065054.49+593624.51 I can’t see any alias in VSX, so it will be this long winded nonsense I’m afraid.
Gary
Thanks Ian. I had 13.2 visual last night, and I also have an unfiltered Slooh image which I haven’t measured yet.
Gary
This looks to be a short duration event, but brightness can change quickly with BL Lac, so it might brighten again. Keep looking!
Gary
UZ Boo had faded to 16.66C by last night, so now we’ll be looking for rebrightenings over the next few days.

Good work Magnus. These are the first Sh I’ve seen during this outburst. Can you continue to follow to see how they develop?
Gary
Steve is a member of one of my societies (Bromsgrove AS). He gave a practical demonstration of his cloud chamber and particle tracks at a monthly meeting several months back. It is very impressive, and great fun to watch. He’s a top speaker too!
Gary
Paul,
Whatever suits you really. The outbursts are so rare that t/s is always welcomed, but if your busy on another project then stick with that.
Gary
Thanks both.
Heavy cloud here in Birmingham, but just secured an image using SLOOH in Tenerife. A quick look at the live view matches your mid 12 estimates. I won’t get the fits file until mid morning tomorrow.
Keep going if you can.
Gary
