Hmmmm!  Looking for variables with a little longer period is like shooting 
fish in a barrel.  You seem bound to hit one.  I this weather holds, I will 
have 4 x 120 degrees of day by day measurements that should be good for 
finding variables or order 1-20 days.

Note that I made the switch because I have now covered (almost) the whole 
ribbon at +7 N with the 48 frame sequence.  No reason to do it again.  OK, 
if I did it a couple more years I could get the complete light curves for 
stars with constant period.  It does not seem like a very efficient search 
technique.
