[AZ-Observing] Re: Epsilon Aurigae

Hi Tom,

Check the latest Newsletter at http://www.hposoft.com/EAur09/NL09/NL8.pdf

The system bounces around 3.00 V and last time I got data around a 
week ago was around V = 3.02.

Note some of the data is from observers using CCD photometry. There 
are some serious problems using CCD as the system is too bright and 
causes severe under sampling. This causes the system's magnitude to 
end up being way too faint. You will be hard pressed to see naked eye 
changes out-out eclipse. Once the eclipse starts you should be able 
to track it visually, however.

Good luck.

Jeff
