Dear Thom,

They are from DE DRA but I put some doubts on some of those 
and you'll see why I doubt when You look Appendix I put down below

>(By the way, why are two magnitudes

No filters.
Visual independent observations by Argelander style estimation.
v-e, v-b. I mean compared to star e and and compared to star b.

Thanks.

Yes,
I doubt that it is my comp star b or some star nearby that varies..

With Best Regards,
