                     Caustic exit to come soon 



Dear Colleagues,

further data on OGLE 2004-BLG-373 collected by PLANET during the last night
with the Danish 1.54m telescope at ESO LaSilla and the SAAO 1.0m telescope
at Sutherland (South Africa) show that the caustic exit has not occured yet.
An observed brightening by about 0.5 mag over the trough between the caustic
passages now indicates that the center of the source is likely to exit 
at HJD = 2453203.41 (-0.21/+0.25), i.e. 16-Jul, 21:50 UT (-5 h/+6 h).  

Continuing dense monitoring will therefore allow a proper coverage of the
caustic exit. 

Event:            OGLE 2004-BLG-373
RA (J2000):       17:54:44.95  
Dec (J2000):      -30:00:50.4 

The baseline I magnitude reported by the OGLE team is 18.327.
