Interesting activity tonight.

Interesting hump tonight.

Couldn’t they pick a more confusing name for the NSR? Thank you very much for the link to ArXiv, Jeremy.
Some blue channel data with activity coming in.

Peter, I would be glad to help. How do I contact you off the forum? Can you please share your e-mail?

I keep monitoring CG Dra and it’s an interesting sharp-peaking short “bright outburst” I’ve never seen before, or could be an illusion due to patchy data. (This year’s May/June is really rainy in Spain.)

CelesTrak says it is lost.

So, I have just purchased the commercial license for BlurXTerminator. I think it’s a very good piece of software. Much faster deconvolution than Richardson-Lucy, and the results are pretty good. Here is the first image, of M86, I have processed with it:

We’re just past the bright outburst. Data continues to flow from A1, I’m submitting to the BAA database. (It would be nice to automate submission somehow – an API would be great!)

Hi Andy,
Still experiencing issues with the login – I am being logged out every day and have to relogin every time. Also, the Login button at the bottom of forum threads leads to a broken login form with errors, only the main menu works.
Thanks!

Thanks, Jeremy.
Eclipses No(s): 108
State: FadingLooks like E107 was a normal outburst. Bright outburst expected next.

Eclipses No(s): 107
State: Outburst or the beginning of a Bright OutburstI’m still here, just that the weather doesn’t really help. CG Dra is visible for only a few hours until it sets too low at about midnight. This coming week, I think, is going to be very important, as this dwarf nova will go into its fourth bright outburst since this continuous light curve effort started, and it would be nice to understand if bright outbursts are indeed as periodic as they seem.
This appears to be a symmetric eclipse, but the orbital hump “iceberg” visible here is of almost 0.2 magnitude amplitude, which is quite odd. In this state CG Dra profile should be accretion disk-dominated, as it’s hot and ionized. As the bright spot supposed to be of constant flux due to the constant mass transfer in the widely accepted outburst model, it shouldn’t appear here at all. I wonder if we are looking at an increased mass transfer episode here, and if so, is this something that triggers bright outbursts?

Bad conditions due to clouds, but we can still make out U/N/A-type profile.

U/H/PEH profile – now seen at all stages of CG Dra except the bright outburst stage.
