Dear Dr. Kato! I would like to send you observations of a new variable star (BeV4), which I have discovered in a systematic CCD-based search for new variables. Instruments (K.Bernhard): CCD-camera: Starlight SX Telescope: Celestron-8 New variable star: new BeV4 055227.8 N062053.0 11.7 12.2(ccd) comments: BeV4: GSC 128 1121 BeV4 seems to be a slow variable. Since no minimum could be observed yet, type and period are still unknown. Comparison star is for all following observations of W.Quester (QU.BAV) and K.Bernhard (Be) GSC 128 1159 (11.5 mag), which was prooved to be constant. object YYMMDD(UT) mag code BeV4 980110.924 12.19 Be BeV4 980117.899 12.08 Be BeV4 980126.905 11.95 Be BeV4 980201.839 11.93 Be BeV4 980203.839 11.85 Be BeV4 980203.845 11.88 Be BeV4 980204.852 11.92 Be BeV4 980205.887 11.86 Be BeV4 980208.830 11.85 Be BeV4 980208.883 11.86 Be BeV4 980210.878 11.82 Be BeV4 980211.839 11.78 Be BeV4 980217.805 11.83 Be BeV4 980218.812 11.82 Be BeV4 980218.869 11.78 Be BeV4 980220.802 11.79 Be BeV4 980226.843 11.77 Be BeV4 980301.793 11.79 Be BeV4 980308.757 11.80 Be BeV4 980309.774 11.80 Be BeV4 980309.867 11.78 Be BeV4 980310.858 11.75 Be BeV4 980311.804 11.86 Be BeV4 980320.811 11.88 Be BeV4 980325.772 11.89 Be BeV4 980326.790 11.89 Be BeV4 980328.775 11.97 Be BeV4 980329.775 11.92 Be BeV4 980330.770 11.93 Be BeV4 980410.789 12.03 Be BeV4 980411.791 12.05 Be The variability of GSC 128 1121 was confirmed by observations of Wolfgang Quester (QU.BAV). The almost constant difference in the observed brightness of about 0.4 mag between measurements of W.Quester and K.Bernhard can be explained by the use of CCD-cameras with different spectral sensitiveness.
