Possible explanation. One might note that a Mira star of this brightness would have been easily recorded in IRAS PSC, but that the IRAS source mentioned looks more closely associated with the redder (on USNO) star. Probably a few immediate multicolor snapshots (or even an unfiltered CCD image) would solve the problem. Regards, Taichi Kato
