Popis: PG 2303+243 is a cool DA variable (also called ZZ Ceti) star with a rich pulsation spectrum and variable amplitudes. A mini-campaign involving six observatories yielded time-resolved photometric measurements of PG 2303+243 during the period 2004 September 5-20. A duty cycle of 35 per cent was achieved. We detected 24 possible independent frequencies, their amplitudes and phases for future mode identification. We confirm the occurrence of short-term amplitude and frequency variations. Our analysis suggests an l = 1 rotational splitting around 8.4 μHz, implying a rotation period of 16.5 h.
