Before Tom K. starts submitting data on V449 Lyr, I respectfully suggest he specify exactly which star he has observed. There is some developing confusion about the position of V449 Lyr. Firstly, the coordinates published by Romano (and used by Guide 8) are bad. Please disregard. Secondly, Romano's finder chart is quite clear. His variable, no. 249, is the middle star in a line of three running SW-NE. See IBVS 645. This is my understanding of the identity of V449 Lyr, unless he has published a later correction, somewhere ... Coordinates for these stars are as follows (from B1.0), and mb from A2.0. # (2000) mb 1 19:07:35.66 +43:59:53.9 14.9 (GCVS id) 2 19:07:37.07 +44:00:20.1 15.0 (Romano) 3 19:07:38.63 +44:00:43.3 12.4 Star 1 is listed in the GCVS, but appears to be in error. Star 2 is Romano's variable 249 = V449 Lyr, on his finder chart. The rough position published in IBVS 3701 is consistent with star 2. Perhaps the published maximum mag. for this star is a typo, or the result of confusion with star 3. The B1.0 magnitudes for star 2 are as follows : B1 = 15.94, B2 = 18.20, R1 = 14.43, R2 = 15.58, I =14.04.
