Abstract

A time of minimum light for VV Orionis has been determined photographically using techniques developed by Jeong. The observed time of minimum light shows that VV Ori exhibits a constant orbital period. The O-C computed with the light elements given by Eaton is found to be $-0^d$, 0070. An attempt to correct for night-to-night shifts for plates taken on three nights in February and March 1975, was unsuccessful and thus the complete light curve initially planned was not obtained.
