Hi Fraser and readers,
I disagree somewhat with Fraser's statement below in that you don't actually need any optical assistance, except perhaps those reading glasses..., for discovering (but not confirming!!) new variables.
All you need doing is to download USNO-A1.0 and USNO-A2.0 data for certain areas and compare them. With an alert brain and a feel for B and R magnitudes and their expected differences you will soon spot a number of stars that show every promise to be variable. Just follow them up with the scope...
If you have lots of time and the interest to pursuit this you'll harvest many variables.
Somehow my interests lie elsewhere...
Regards,
Berto

G'day all,
Many actual and suspected variables continue to be discovered down here; with nothing
more than an alert eyeball, a knowledgeable brain, and a little bit of
optical assistance.
cheers,
Fraser Farrell
