I have plotted NSVS and TASS data for the EA type star SU Boo using Bob
Nelson's ephemeris HJD Min = 2452667.9434 + 1.56125 * E
(http://binaries.boulder.swri.edu/omc/SU_Boo_OC.xls.htm).  According to
this ephemeris, SU Boo should have had an eclipse at JD 2453109.78. 
The TASS database shows it faint near JD 2453108.77 but not near JD
2453109.78.  Adding 1 day to the JDs of the 5 data points concerned,
gives a better fit to the ephemeris.
