Default RR Lyrae ... a 14.1-hr light curve (and marathon)

It fluctuates by almost a full magnitude every 13.60 hours.

However, being a
summertime object, it is impossible to pursue a light curve during

one
session.


Here in the far north, where Lyra is a circumpolar constellation, you
could do it.

Great work!!
