Hi again,
OJ 287 is currently bright (R~13.7). Thus the campaign of November 2-5 
(see below) is extended starting from now up to November 10, at least, 
depending on the brightness behaviour.
The campaign web page 
<http://www.astro.utu.fi/OJ287MMVI/XMMcampaign.html> will be updated 
soon (today or tomorrow).
Cheers, massimo
