Many thanks for your information.

Yes, one of our new variable stars (MisV objects), MisV0130 is
identified with HS1332 discovered by FASTT. Therefore, the number of
MisV objects is 336 now, but the number of real new objects is 335,
except for MisV0130.

In order to avoid confusion, we will never modify the number. But in
the recent article for IBVS, we mentioned about the identification.

We added all FASTT-1 data into our database. So we will never attach 
MisV number for HS objects. Actually, we have discovered the following
variable stars. But we did not announce them as MisV objects because
they are identified with HS objects.

  --> HS1463

We found that the star (1) and (3) can be identified with GCVS stars,
VX AQL (=HS1466) and V886 AQL (=HS1463). The identifications were
reported in [vsnet-id 100]. We also write an IBVS article about it soon.

Because we added HS objects into our database, we will report the
magnitude data of them to VSNET after this.

By the way, some HS objects can be identified with known variable
stars in the GCVS. Isn't it a list of NEW variable stars discovered in
the FASTT-1 project?
