[vsnet-chat 1093] Position of RY Ser?

[Mati Morel <morel@ozemail.com.au>]

I am currently preparing a chart (and sequence) for RY Ser.

My only problem is - what are the correct coordinates for RY Ser?

Note the following J2000 coordinates, assigned to RY Ser.

17h23m6.7s -12o48'07"   (vsnet-chat 299)
17 23 7.17 -12 48 09.1  (vsnet-alert 1107; vsnet 1339, chart for RY Ser
                         both posted 4 Aug. 1997)
17 23 7.54 -12 47 44.0  (PASP 109, 1997 April. Downes, Webbink & Shara 
                         atlas of cataclysmic variables, 2nd ed.)

The DWB chart points to a different star, a little to the north of the 
star indicated in the vsnet postings.

Which is the true RY Ser?

Regards,
