[vsnet-campaign 701] V344 Ori: the position and the quiscent counterpart



Dear all,

  I have done astrometry of V344 Ori with the Kyoto image taken on
Jan. 16 with 25 GSC-ACT stars as:  R.A. = 6h15m18s.92, Decl. =
+15o30'59".7.  The accuracy is better than 0".5, perhaps 0".3 level.
It agrees very well with DWS97 position (end figures 18s.9, 31'00")

  The suggestion that the USNO_A2.0 star (position end figures
18s.962, 59".98, r=17.8, b=18.4) is a quiscent counterpart is very
plausible.  

Sincerely Yours,
