    THE ECLIPSE OF THE LONG PERIOD ECLIPSING BINARY 32 CYGNI IN 1987

  V 1488 Cyg (32 Cyg) is an eclipsing binary with the period of 1147.4 days.
The last eclipse occurred in July 1987. Observations have been made with a
250/3750 cassegrain reflector at Nessa observatory. 30 Cyg (V= 4.83, B-V =
+0.09, U-B = +0.15) and 31 Cyg (V= 3.79, B-V = +1.28, U-B = +0.42) were used
as comparison stars. From the observations I can estimate the amplitudes in
UBV to be U= 0.88, B= 0.13 and V= 0.06.

The observations are given below:
