Thanks Peggy-I had not yet set up a Watch list I guess-I think I have now.  I made cosmetic changes to my page.  The fuzziness was because I compressed the original picture to make it small and then uploaded.  I think, by monkey seeing... your formats, I uploaded the uncompressed version and then made it fit.

Chi Cyg is between Deneb and Albireo, more specifically between eta and beta [aka Albireo[ in the neck of the swan.  One of the slides inthe ppt shows this, but I should have a slide upfront of where one is looking.

The other long period variable I hope to have my students follow is the non-regular "poster child" of AAVSO, Z UMa.  I've started a folder for that; so far it is empty.

Now we see if you/I get an email alerting us to my having done this.

Hey Rich, good job! Why is it fuzzy, is your original fuzzy? It shouldn't change when you upload it. Or is it a screen capture? Maybe you could try putting the original in paint, making your markings and then uploading that (unless thats what you already did).
