A second campaign on a (mostly) new set of 17 cataclysmic variables is announced in AAVSO Alert Notice 527. Please see the notice for details, targets, and instructions.

All images should be posted in this thread and all discussion on this campaign should take place here so everything is in one place.

Many thanks and good observing,

Skipped Targets

I skipped the following targets because of lack of good sky transparency.

PTFS1114ag    SDSS J143317.78+101123.3
PTFS1115z    OV Boo
PTFS1115an    BT CrB

I also skipped the following targets because of time constraints and high air mass.

PTFS1120q    SDSS J204817.85-061044.8
PTFS1120t    QT Aqr
PTFS1121y    QU Aqr

Monitoring of CVs extended until Friday 27 May

Thank you very much!

So the universe seems a bit quiet at the moment. I hope tonight we catch a beautiful outburst.

Clear skies everyone! Cheers for the William Herschel Telescope.

Dang! It was supposed to be cloudy last night and clear tonight. Oh well. I did 17/20 of the targets last night - no outbursts. Good luck to anyone else montoring tonight.

A new campaign in preparation

Dear all,

I am preparing a new campaign monitoring eclipsing CVs for next week. Elizabeth will prepare the alert soon

Already excited about this, and hoping to count with your amazing help one more time.

Thanks so much for your contributions!
