                                    A large monitoring project, OJ-94, was set up with the aim of monitoring
the blazar OJ 287 during the predicted optical outburst (in fall 1994,
Sillanpaa et al. 1988) and simultaneously to collect a large data base
for a small sample of blazars. Through this campaign we have obtained
the best ever obtained optical light curve for any extragalactic object.
The most prominent feature in the occurring at the beginning of
November. This outburst occurred almost exactly at the predicted time.
