>>Thom: In case I get the chance to do some PEP on this star, do you have any recommendations on bright comp stars? Doug, These are nearby stars with magnitudes from the Hipparcos Catalogue: HD 183265 V= 7.33, B= 7.35 HD 183919 V= 7.45, B= 7.50 HD 184571 V= 7.60, B= 8.09 I used them to make my visual estimates. My results ended up being systematically 0.09 mag. fainter than V according to ASAS-3. Probably I got excited when I saw the fading. ;-)) So the star hasn't broken its V= 7.51 record yet. It was 7.48V and still fading yesterday. Thom's observation also agrees with that. These are the latest results: 2893.524 7.55 OSE 2893.681 7.463 V ASAS-3 2895.639 7.472 V ASAS-3 2896.706 7.45 V GANDET 2896.497 7.57 OSE 2897.650 7.480 V ASAS-3 I have uploaded a lightcurve at: http://ar.geocities.com/varsao/Curva_V1294_Aql.htm There is a chart at: http://ar.geocities.com/varsao/Carta_V1294_Aql.htm Regards, Sebastian. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
