Mike and Arne,

My general plan is to try to do the all sky survey and not worry too much 
about getting any specific star.  Plenty of others will observe well 
advertised events.  Of course, I don't care (until later when I am trying 
to fill in blank spots in the time series) what I observe, so will look for 
this star if convenient.  What is the RA an Declination of OW Gem?  I 
looked for a while on the charts and could not find it.

It appears that what is bad for Arne is good in Chicago.  This has been a 
good December here.

I saw the following on the AAVSO list. Might this be something for TOM2
to do?
