Dear observers, I have a question about EA with period 1.07d. It is Linear 154606 placed near EZ Lyn. I have got from MPO excellent serial images 60x180 sec. Target has been EZ, but there is possibility to measure Linear too. During 3 h exposure Linear kept almost stable brightness about 16.4v, so my attempt to catch minima was unsuccessful. Could you please explain, is there a sence to report all 60 points? Or better to show one average value? Or even do not send report in this case?
Even though you were not successful in capturing any minima from this EA, all of the data in between is very valuable to complete a period-phased light curve. It would be very helpful to capture a few Min I values from this system so that a linear ephemeris can be determined.
Thank you, Kevin, you dispelled my doubts! I have uploaded data to AID and I'll try to restore in VPhot earlier seria with Linear 154606 got at December.
