Joe was looking for information showing the nova fading so I put together a chart using my data: http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/nova.jpg And speaking of light curves, here's the result of a recent collaboration I participated in with Paris Observatory on minor planet (234) Barbara: http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/barbara.jpg One explanation of the odd shape of the curve is that it is actually a double minor planet. Clouds just moved in so I gotta go shut down now. :( patrick
