Hi Ben,

I can't speak for Guide functionality (although I use it regularly and
really like it) in this area, but the variable star information you
want is available for long-period variables at
http://www.aavso.org/bulletin/.

Regards,
Steve (WSV)

Variables like Mira and R Hydrae list all types of info such as the period but not the next or previous calendar date of the min/max magnitude.
