In this article let me demonstrate the variety of light curves of these objects and how dense was our coverage. For more details see the presentation.
Besides the novae few words should be dedicated to SS Cyg. The prototype of regular dwarf novae systems. After more than century of periodic outbursts it presented typical Z Cam type behavior = standstill.
