In AAVSO Bulletin 75 there are two stars that exhibit double maxima: R Cen and R Nor. These stars therefore have primary and secondary maxima and minima. They are not included in the main Bulletin table. Their predicted dates of maximum and minimum for January 2012 through February 2013 are presented here in list form (JD and Gregorian calendar dates) and in approximation of the main Bulletin table format.

Letter to Users of 2011 Bulletin
February 2011
Dear Observers,
In Bulletin 74 there are three stars that exhibit double maxima: V Boo, R Cen, and R Nor. These stars therefore have primary and secondary maxima and minima. They are not included in the main Bulletin table. Their predicted dates of maximum and minimum for January 2011 through February 2012 are presented here in list form (JD and Gregorian calendar dates) and in approximation of the main Bulletin table format.
AAVSO Bulletin 74 - Predicted Dates of Maxima and Minima of Long Period Variables for 2011 - is published in a new format. The information that was included in earlier numbers of the Bulletin is included in this new format, along with more information. This year the Bulletin does not include stars that do not have an AAVSO mean curve.
STARS IN NEED OF OBSERVATIONS in AAVSO BULLETIN 73: Predicted Maxima and Minima of Long Period Variables for 2010 The stars listed below need additional observations. Please be aware that many of these stars are difficult to observe, and should be observed only by experienced observers. Please note that the symbol % after a star name indicates the star has fair to excellent CCDV or multicolor photometry but still needs visual observations.
How to Use Bulletin 73
Bulletin 73 was NOT prepared in the same way as in the past. Please be sure to READ THE INTRODUCTION before you use the Bulletin; contact AAVSO Headquarters if you have questions.
