Title of the communication: The optical light curves of blazar OJ 287 based on the OJ-94 project data.
Preliminary abstract (12 lines max.):
A large monitoring project, OJ-94, was set up with the aim of monitoring blazar OJ 287 during the predicted outburst (in fall 1994, Sillanpaa et al., 1988, ApJ 325, 628). This outburst was also observed almost at the predicted time, Nov. 95. Another aim of the project was to collect a large data base of a small sample of blazars. The project is still continuing. Here we will present preliminary updated light curves of OJ 287.
