[vsnet-chat 217] Possible new UG in Pisces

[bas@bom.gov.au (Bruce Sumner)]

  In IBVS No. 4463 H.-G. Reimann and C. Friedemann announced their 
discovery of a possible new bright UG in Pisces. They note the range as
being approximately 12.44B - 16.17B, implying a possible visual maximum
of around 12.0. No mention is made of outburst frequency.

  I have determined the following positions of the new variable from
the DSS and USNO A1.0:

		  R.A.	      Decl. (J2000)
  var Psc 	01 09 59.23  +28 01 25.0     USNO A1.0
		01 09 59.15  +28 01 26.3     DSS

  The USNO A1.0 position is to be preferred. Reimann and Friedemann 
also provide the following B-magnitude comparison stars. V magnitudes
will need to be obtained before these stars can be used for reliable 
magnitude estimates, but until then the following magnitudes will serve
as a guide:

  Comp. star	  R.A.       Decl. (J2000)  B-magn. 
	1	01 10 07.7  +28 02 36       10.12
	2 	01 10 23.7  +27 57 04	    12.25
 	3 	01 10 17.4  +27 57 02       14.49
	8	01 10 18.4  +28 04 11       14.34
	9	01 09 21.4  +28 01 20	    15.38
	a	01 10 00.0  +27 59 22       11.42
	c	01 09 34.3  +28 02 16       12.44
	d	01 09 32.2  +28 00 23       12.95
	f	01 09 59.0  +28 00 33       13.15
	x 	01 09 51.8  +27 59 15	    14.08		

  All positions are again from USNO A1.0.

  Good luck.
