HadV46: new variable star (unusual?)

   Katsumi Haseda (haseda@mxs.mesh.ne.jp) reports the discovery of a new
large amplitude variable star.  Although the light variation is not
inconsitent with a Mira-type variable, the examination by Haseda of the
RealSky image confirms the identificationith 

= USNO0750.1365008683404.041 -144500.23 (2000.0) 14.4 15.5

   , which is not red as expected frm the light variation.  More detailed
observation (multicolor photometry and possibly spectrocopy) would be
desired to clarify the nature of the object.  The objectis bright now.

   A formatted vsnet-newvar report will appear later.
