Hello folks!
  Isn't this the same star as "Goldilocks' Variable" being investigated by
Leos Ondra?  The positions only disagree by a few arc seconds in
declination.  He has a home page on the subject at
http://vsnet.sci.muni.cz/~ondra/gl/gl.html.  Also check out IBVS # 3604 &
4037. The first is the discovery and the second is the improved position by
M. Morel.  Carpe Noctum,  Albert Dill
