-------------------------------
Dissapearance of (XZ76012) a likely double star discovery! I was using my home made 18" newtonian at prime focus (F6) using a Watec 902H2 ultimate camera and IOTA-VTI.
This may be pretty dry stuff for many people but these discoveries (about 20 so far) sure keeps me interested and really helps justify my toys!
I also want to say that I used Occult 4.1 and LiMovie. Can't thank them enough for the wonderful freeware!
This is the light curve for the dissapearance, the slightly brighter component D'd first with a 1.14s step duration.
