Observing Eclipsing Bianry Stars

Discussion about why these stars eclipse each other and any connection they have with visual and/or spectroscopic bianries.

Unaided eye and binocular observations are possible and are fun to make. Discussion on how to use AAVSO charts for visual photometry.	AAVSO finding chart for Algol, The Demon Star, goes here. AAVSO finding chart for Beta Lyrae foes here.
