  If you look at table 3 in our paper, you will see that these
cross-identifications (FASTT1466=VX Aql, FASTT1463=V886 Aql) appear
there along with about a hundred other known variables.  Note that
proximity is just one criteria for judging whether a variable
from one of these surveys is the same as one given in the GCVS.
You also need to look at the classification, min/max magnitudes,
etc. to ensure you haven't found a new variable that happens to
lie close to the (often poor) GCVS coordinates.
