It might have been me Lew, can't really remember for sure though. Back
before the IMO LM charts were being used here, I used the previous edition
of the AAVSO atlas as a check on my LM estimates. Since the IMO tables end
at 7.5, and guessing you may at some time be back down there, I would
suggest using the AAVSO charts to go beyond the tables if needed. BUT, I
also suggest that if you do that, add a note about it to the reports.
