Hello everybody from Italy. As you know, I have reported here the possible discovery of a new variable star near M27 (please see my images at http://vsnet.eurolink.it/comets/varst.html). Now, I am looking for a confirmation, so I have controlled the GCVS 4 and NSP (thank you, Brian Skiff, for your check and detailed research on the USNO A1.0 star catalogue and to you, Taichi Kato, for your suggestions), without finding anything. So, I ask you to find on all the catalogues you have and let me know the results of this check. As you surely understand, your help is very important, because of your great experience in this field. So, I will appreciate very much your kind interest and your disposability in checking the star. I wish you all the best for all your activities. Keep up the good work. Sincerely, Gianluca Masi -- *********************************************************************** * Gianluca Masi "Two things fill the soul * * Via Madonna de Loco, 47 with awe and reverence [...]: * * 03023 Ceccano (FR) the starry sky above me and * * ITALY the moral law into me" * * email: gianmasi@fr.flashnet.it * * http://vsnet.eurolink.it/comets/ I.
