[AZ-Observing] Re: Epsilon Aurigae

Jeff, 

Not to give too much away, but the article is more of an invitation for
casual observers to help observe this unusual star and provide data. He does
include background info on what we know, think we know & hope to find out.

I got the article from the AAVSO site. They've recently added a repository
of articles & Blogs for use in publications such as ours. The only "fee" is
credit in the NL and a posting on the authors website or blog. 

Once it runs and I "Pay up" I'll post to him about your work. Maybe you
could exchange notes or he could plug your book.

Hi Rick,

Sure. Has Mike been observing it? If so how, photometry, spectroscopy 
or what? My recent book on epsilon Aurigae is pretty comprehensive. 
Lots going on out-of-eclipse  and from past data it looks like things 
are happening that may end in an astronomical catastrophe in our life 
time. Very interesting system and it is 3rd magnitude star well place 
for the northern hemisphere. See

If you have any questions, just let me know.

Jeff
