[vsnet-alert 10932] selected CCD observations of EF Eri, IQ Eri U Sco..

[Berto Monard]

Herewith a selection of results from recent CV observations from CBA 
Pretoria

After two months in the active state EF Eri has faded to its quiescent 
level.

IQ Eri has faded to within 1 magnitude of its normal state. The three weeks 
of activity seem too long for a dwarf nova eruption and too short for active 
states of  polars, so far observed at CBA Pretoria.

Seven years of monitoring of V436 Car at CBA Pretoria have never seen V436 
Car that faint.

BB Dor is still at its minimum around magnitude 19 since about four months 
now. I have seen recent 'brighter' observing results on the internet for BB 
Dor, which I strongly disagree with.

U Sco was observed during dawn and is not in outburst.

Polars like UU Pic and EUVE J0425-5714 have reached their active state, UW 
Pic is busy brightening as well. Others like BL Hyi (that was reported, I 
think) have returned to the faint state.

What a little bit of good weather does...
