Dear Collegues, as you know, I have already reported the presence of a (probable) new variable star near the planetary nebula M27. You will find useful information and star charts for the identification on my page: http://vsnet.eurolink.it/comets/varst.html Now I am writing because I would like to recommend you to monitor the star; I am still looking for a confirmation to know if the star is really unknown, but, of course, it is very important to have photometrical data. As you are active variable star observers, maybe that you will find the time to take some brightness estimates; I am at the beginning of my variable star activity, so your assistance and help are very important. Please let me know if somebody is interested in these observations. Many thanks to all... and clear skies!
