Notes

Unadjusted Sessions fit a period of 627h at Orders 2 and 617.0h at Orders 3.  Sessions adjusted by up to 0.05mag (limit of catalogue precision) to match the raw curve and produced the period shown here.  Data point 12/12/2010 is offset by 0.1mag.  Images have been measured 3 times with different comp stars and no obvious reason for discrepancy.  The long duration was also indicated when this target was observed in 2004 seen here.  Further observations were not undertaken at that time as long period targets were beyond the capabilities of HHO at that time.
