My query regarding ST CHA was prompted by the observation that six times recently there has been
an ASAS observation of CY CHA (1.4 arc min away)when ST CHA was not reported.

   4662.59703
   4671.55661
   4683.51033
   4694.49415
   4699.48980
   4702.47371
   4793.84489

This might mean that the "fainter than" values might mean exactly that rather than "clouded out"
or some other astronomical misfortune.

Hence could there be two state of ST CHA - above c14.5 and too faint for ASAS? It might be
enlightening to follow one of these "outbursts" to see what happens.
