Abstract:
    V446 Her is the best example of an old nova which has developed dwarf
    nova (DN) eruptions in the post-nova state. We report on observed
    properties of the long-term light curve of V446 Her, using photometry
    over 19 years.

Description:
    Our long-term photometry of V446 Her consists of two sets 1991-2004
    and 2007-2009. The first is from an unattended, autonomous 0.41m
    telescope in central Indiana, informally called RoboScope. The second
    long-term sequence was acquired during 2007-2009 using an unattended,
    autonomous 1.25m telescope at the same site as RoboScope.
