            LIGHT CURVE OF RS SCUTI


Four-colour (BVRI) photoelectric photometry was carried out
over three nights (1980 June 16.37 - 16.61 UT, July 16.34 -
16.71 UT, July 17.34 - 17.67 UT) on the short period eclipsing
binary RS Scuti (BD - 10d4814). The photometry was carried
out using the 61cm Boller and Chivens reflector at Mt John
University Observatory.  Comparison and check stars were
respectively SAO 161865 and SAO 161906.



The anomalous point at phase .04 in the differential colour
curves is as yet unexplained.



The following is a revised ephemeris for the star :
   T_min = 2444437.1658 + 0.6642384 E

   These graph symbols were used :
   June 16 = triangle
   July 16 = square
   July 17 = <>
