HadV89 = MSX G012.0409-00.9457 Date: Wed, 30 May 2001 13:32:43 -0700 (MST) From: Brian Skiff <bas@lowell.edu> Subject: Re: [vsnet-alert 5944] HadV89 : new eruptive variable or a possible nova? Could the new Haseda variable be MSX G012.0409-00.9457, a fairly strong 10mu source located at 18 15 27.2 -18 57 22 (2000)? The very useful MSX catalogue was recently made available through the Strasbourg VizieR service. See http://vizier.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/Cat?V/107 for details. I have found it very good for indentifying red stars that are a little too faint or on bright backgrounds that do not show up in the IRAS catalogues. \Brian
