Object: R And Chart : AAVSO b Source: vsnet-obs 46755 (T. Lange) Comment: > The observation of R And by M. Nakatani (Miyagi, Japan) is in error. R > And is, according to four Dutch observers, now between magnitude 140 en 145. > M. Nakatani probably made an identification error, probably the same one > as Thorsten Lange and I made last July. The problem with this star seems to be the AAVSO b-chart, which shows the near 116 star and north of it R And itself. The AAVSO d-chart shows the 118 star between 116 and R And. That's what happend to me some time ago: I used the wrong chart and thought R And to be at the position of 118. The AAVSO should mark the 118 on the b-chart!
