Thus, B-V = 1.25 which supports Della Valle's conclusion that Tabur's star is a post-asymptotic-giant-branch star in flare-up -- or something similar. No emission lines could be detected on a weakly exposed objective prism spectrum taken in the red on August 22.0181. All the best, Bill Liller *Comparison stars: GSC 8975 - 581, -725, -859, -979, -1385, and -1567.
