Probably all stars in the area are measured as one... Anyway, we have already seen that the accuracy is not good to reach any conclussion. Beta CMi is one of the most "constant" variable stars catalogued!! ;-)) Sebastian. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://vsnet.grisoft.com).
