[vsnet-chat 6044] Re: DV Pup (Big trouble)



Michael,
   If you look at the Simbad/Aladdin preview image, you
will find that DV Pup is the brightish star _nearest_ the marked
coordinates on the AAVSO chart; that mark is just misplaced.
Looking at the blue and red survey plates also show that this
star is quite red, matching the Simbad description.
