Rob,did your estimates change every hour you observed it and if it did what instumentation were you using?
Thanks

Orestis,
You will need more than 4 points.
Initially, I would just plot whatever you get on a grid on paper. You can add extra points at the corresponding phase times from different nights to confirm the cycle. You are really just trying to confirm the cycle not construct the whole thing from scratch.
My estimates were just visual and they did change every hour around the primary eclipse time.
Regards, Rob
