Description:
    Table 5 presents AAVSO and AFOEV amateur astronomer's data
    combined into 30-day bins. <JD> is the mean JD of the bin, <m-vis> is
    the mean of N visual estimates after correction for systematic offsets
    (two decimal figures only for N>=2); sigma(<m-vis>) is the error of
    the mean. Table 6 lists photographic m(pg) magnitudes of YY Her.
    The various sources of data and instruments are given for each
    magnitude. The upper limits are flagged by >, while the uncertain
    values have the : or :: flag.
