With a star of such a short period, you should make an observation every hour over the time you're out doing observations. You want to get as many points of data as you can because what you're trying to do is catch the beginning, middle and end phases of the eclipse. Having all those points will also help to produce a nice curve as well. You will then be able to accurately determine the length of the eclipse and other characteristics of the system.
