The aims of the group are to alert/notify other members as to unusual behaviour taking place in Variable Stars observed by the BAAVSS and other groups and individuals. This might be for example, someone noticing a faint minimum or bright maximum of a Mira star, or that an RCB star has started to fade or recover, or indeed that a particular dwarf nova is in outburst! This group aims to advise like minded members about interesting Variable Star activity, quickly and in the easiest way. We also encourage discussion on all matters related to Variable Stars and the activities of the BAA VSS.

Please do not send nightly observation reports to this group. These should be reported to VSNET or CVnet.
