Although rather hazy, again I had a good observation of 
93- 36 B this evening.

It is still accelerating nicely.  Although I have only observations
of the last 3 days, it seems that the decline is slowing down, so 
the decrease of the period might stop within some days to go up again??

This is the ideal occasion to study what happens between the end of
an acceleration and the beginning of the normal rise afterwards.

All observers should focus on this object!!
