We have had a request from professional observers at La Palma who require close monitoring of this object over the next ten days. They have time on the INT from next Tuesday (1995 October 31) but R CrB must be below magnitude 14 for them to make succesful observations. Please keep this object under close watch and e-mail estimates to both of the addresses given above. Nick James
