    [apologies if this is a duplicate]


   Another interesting article on variable stars of
intermediate brightness appears in today's astro-ph:

        http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/0712.0839

      "Identification, Classifications, and Absolute Properties
        of 773 Eclipsing Binaries Found in the TrES Survey"

The TrES survey measured specific fields over and over again,
looking for the teeny-tiny, few-hour-long dips caused
by transits of giant planets in front of their host stars.
In the process of finding a few planets, they naturally
gathered large amounts of photometry.  This is one of the
"by-products" of their survey.
