Hi John, Emile & chat people, 

HR Lyr varies between 15.2 & 15.8 visually (usually to be
found around 15.5-8).  In the book 'Variable Stars' by 
Hoffmeister, Richter & Wenzel, HR Lyr is listed as a nova 
which may undergo a further outburst. I also seem to remember
Rob McNaught mentioning to me quite a few years ago now that 
HR Lyr would be a good object to add to the Recurrent Objects 
Programme - so I did.  Recommendation from Rob is good enough 
for me!

Cheers,
Gary
