Dear All, I have recently made some observations of NSV4499 around magnitude 14, assuming it to be a red variable. It lies near the Mira star Y Vel. An associate obtained a CCD image to help with correct identification (the RASNZ chart is rather poor) but from this the star I have been observing is clearly not red and there does not appear to be any nearby suitable candidates. The Simbad returns no listing for this star. Does NSV4499 no longer exist, previously show to be nonvariable or perhaps a mis identification? Thanks and regards Peter Williams
