    Derek,
    	I'm having trouble interpreting this.  I don't think that you
    observed it for 2417 seconds so that must be frames, right?  So, what is
    the frame rate?  Or (what I really want), what is the time interval
    between blips?
    	Randy
    
    
    
    Define "blips".. 
    
    If you mean each point on the lightcurve, yes it is frames, 29.97 fps, and
    ~0.033s per frame / point on the light curve..
    
    
    If you mean the interval of the "heartbeat".....
    
    
    Starting with the full lightcurve on the web page, going left to right, the
    first peak mag of NOSS 3-3 C, where it is above the 4,000 level at around
    frame 601.. that occurred at a UT time of 3h	31m	52.8003s +/-
    0.008s.. i.e. the center of an interlaced frame..
    
    Moving to the right, here are the times of the next three peak points..
    
    3	31	54.6357
    3	31	56.9045
    3	31	59.1067
    
    >From frame 241 to frame 1981 (based on the split light curve - "First Part"
    and "Second Part" - and using the rough frame numbers listed across the
    bottom of the lightcurves, you have the following first and last peak point
    times..
    
    Point #239    3h	31m	40.2209s
    Point # 1990  3h	32m	36.6469s
    
    There are 29 "events" including those at the start and finish and a duration
    for 56.4260s / 28 = a 2.015s period.
