First of all, sorry for my bad english I am still learning english.
I observed that star several times and its fainter then 8 mag in my 
observations.I checked the observations in vsnet and aavso databases. All of 
the observations are between the range 7.5 and 8.1 except my and Sebastian's 
observations. I always try to do my best but likewise every human I can make 
error. But I believe the correctness of every observation that I sent. It is 
possible that only Sebastian's observations are correct. I think we should 
talk about the best way of observing these kind of stars. I believe that all 
of the observers here  know something that the others don't know. We should 
share them.
