I'm near Minneapolis, MN. That would be really cool to get some other data to 
compare with. I was thinking of trying to grab "V" data but thought I'd be 
better off staying consistent and trying to complete the light curve, although 
if the period is near a multiple of an even day, I probably won't get 
much "new" data. We'll see. I'm interested to see if your theory is correct. I 
was assuming this was a shorter period pulsator.
