[vsnet-chat 2328] Re: GSC1.2 magnitudes near V844 Her

[aah@nofs.navy.mil]

Hazel McGee correctly pointed out to me that my
revised magnitude for GSC 3602-00173 almost exactly
matches the magnitude for this star as reported
in the GSC catalog, and therefore her estimate
for the outburst did not have to be revised.
I've checked additional stars in the field, with
the following results:

   GSC       mag     V
3062-00050  14.09  14.08
3062-00281  12.80  12.83
3062-00347  13.59  13.61
3062-00173  12.30  12.31
3062-02129  13.53  13.49
3062-00607  12.50  12.51

So, remarkably, for this specific field, GSC1.2 magnitudes
closely follow V-band magnitudes.  This is highly
unusual!
