> The collection of times of minimum for eclipsing  binaries , which is called 
> ``Lichtenknecker-Database of the BAV'' in honour of  its initiator Dieter 
> Lichtenknecker, was made available to astronomical  scientists and interested 
> amateurs in April 2004 for the first time. It was  delivered on CD-ROM. A
revision 
> (more stars, more minima) was published in  January 2006.

> The BAV continues its efforts in collecting observatorial  results from the 
> international community of variable star observers. The  database now
contains 
> more than 130,000 observed times of minimum of 1,968  stars. Due to this
it is 
> probably the largest collection of times  of minimum for eclipsing binaries 
> of the northern hemisphere  worldwide.

> Now we are  proud to make available the Lichtenknecker-Database of the BAV
