Perhaps Sebastian can give more details on why he is so certain that
the TASS data are bad but looking at the plots, I'm not inclined to
dismiss them. This is obviously a well-detached system and an eccentric
orbit isn't at all out of the question. That can really make things
tough when the two stars have similar surface brightnesses.
