       Source star in OGLE 2006-BLG-277 exiting caustic


Dear Colleagues,

Data collected by OGLE and PLANET, using the Canopus 1.0m telescope
(near Hobart, Tasmania), the Danish 1.54m at ESO LaSilla (Chile) and
the Perth 0.6m at Bickley (Western Australia), show that 
OGLE-2006-BULGE-277 is exiting the caustic. The trailing limb exit
is expected at approximately 2453951.11 (August 3, 14:43 UT), 
and the crossing time of the source radius is estimated at 0.22 day.

A light curve plot as well as data are available on our webpages.
