The period of this variable was first determined by Tony Vanmunster (Center of Backjard Astrophysics). We have taken the observations with CCD ST-7 and 60-cm reflector of SAI Crimean station. ... The longest set was taken at night of 2000 February 12 including 291 R 60 second long frames with the magnitude limit of 18. Summing all these frames in a single one I have taken a "deep sight" of this region having the limit of 21.7R. The effective exposition is 4 h. 51 m. Look at this frame! ...

Next: Imaging by an Optimizing Method . ... A big advantage of this numerical integrator is its stability: the error in the semi-major axis and the eccentricity depends only on the step size and does not grow with an increasing number of time steps. ... As the integration time increases, the numerical results become more contaminated by various errors. ... A new symplectic integrator produces no secular truncation errors in the actions of a Hamiltonian system. ...
