Impressive work Bojan! I notice that AAVSO have a light-curve analysing tool available for download on their website:

Hi Rob, thank you for your kind words :-)
However, it is just everyday activity, nothing much more :-)

Below is updated curve with tonight's measurement...

After a short break...
Light curve update, again.
It is still quite bright (mag 12)

I've also been following this. My data is on the AAVSO but here is the summary. It's cloudy tonight so no update today.
Add it in if you like.

Updated with Terry's results.
There is a constant difference between two of us (systematic error), which means we are both very consistent in methodology.
Once corrected for this, our results will be spot on :-)
