[vsnet-obs 22014] BnV18 (Bengtsson)

[Taichi Kato <tkato>]

Dear friends,

The following variable star has been found in Aquila. There were only three
DSS images available to me; the star is faint on POSS-E Red Plate XE572
(Epoch 1950.612) and Quick-V Northern Plate N572 (Epoch 1982.565); it appears
much brighter on POSS-II Red Plate XP737 (Epoch 1992.588). To judge from
the large amplitude, it could be a Mira star; however, I do not know the
colour of the object. It is absent in IRAS, USNO-A2.0 and GSC. The possibility
of a starlike plate flaw superimposed on the star image on XP737 can not be
completely ruled out, until another maximum is known.

Star    Position (J2000.0)   Con  Max.   Min.   Type  Identification

BnV18  19 27 29.5 +08 54 36  Aql  11.8r  15.2r  M?    -
