Simple (well, maybe not simple), To help out take a series of FITS images (say a couple per minute) of the target star starting an hour before the predicted start of the eclipse and keep it up until an hour after it's predicted to end (or until one gets tired...). Once you've got the images I'll help you reduce and measure them. Cheers, patrick On 08 Jul 2009, at 23:11 , Joe Bauman wrote:

Well the pendulum appears to have swung back to the opinion that the "find" I stumbled across the other day is indeed a "discovery". And I am being asked to keep an eye on it.
I got another good run at it last night and it eclipsed right on time. The next possibility for Utahans to work it will be Friday night MDT or, in UT, on the 11th between 0525 and 0737.
If anyone here is inclined to help please let me know and I'll supply details.
Thanks,
patrick
