The following comparison stars were used: F=13.51, G=13.77, a=14.19. Identification of comparison stars are due to G. M. Hurst (ref. TA E-Circular 1405), their V magnitudes are measurements by H. Corwin and M. Frueh, and published by B. Skiff [vsnet-alert 2937]. Form Norway, this object has also been observed by O. Midtskogen (visually) and O. Trondal (with CCD). Observer: GRL = Bjorn H. Granslo (Fjellhamar, Norway). Instruments: 203-mm SCT (C203), 70-mm refractor (L70), 10x50 binoculars (B10x50). Sequences are AAVSO unless noted. Observations before 22h30m UT were made from Blindern, Oslo.
