Week 3 on the mountain pursuing epsilon Aurigae
Finally some real data! On 6/23/09 we were fortunate to get a photometric morning and could begin to measure J & H band fluxes of stars in broad daylight - including alpha Cet, alpha Tau, alpha Aur and epsilon Aur - marginally in the latter case at first pass, but we will try to improve on the statistics in the coming week. The high altitude location helps darken the daytime sky.
