Something for tonight?



I was looking for a star for Michael K. in last nights data when I came 
across one that varied 2 mag in a day.  I turned out to by Y Psc.  It is 
good to know that the scheme finds variables that are known to exist.

I have switched to a mode that is intended to find longer period 
variables.  Michael, do you want to have a go at a speculation that might 
be too long in period for a single night of observation?  I will look for 
the best one.
