Description

On the 4th the sky was clear again so I could take some images.

The image above shows NGC 2261 ( Hubble's Variable Nebula), and the photometry of the eclipsing variable WISE J063829.9+084626

W Ursae Majoris-type eclipsing variable.

Period :12.3 h

Imaged on February 04, 2021 / 17h 20 - 19h 20 UTC

W Ursae Majoris-type eclipsing variables. These are eclipsers with periods usually shorter than 1 day, consisting of ellipsoidal components almost in contact and having light curves for which it is impossible to specify the exact times of onset and end of eclipses. The depths of the primary and secondary minima are almost equal or differ insignificantly. Light amplitudes are usually <0.8 mag. in V. The components generally belong to spectral types F-G and later.
