>> MisV1024 1.6" 2MASS 200135.611 +335902.75 (2000.0) 7.312 5.861 6.583 0.729 >> This is very interesting. MisV1024 is identified with IRAS 19596+3350 >> and S-type star NSS 49. So it must be a red variable. However, the >> 2MASS J-K value is very small. I do not know why. I have confirmed the ID of this star, and it looks reasonable, since it appers in the Stephenson reddened star list (1992AJ....103..263S) as well as the MSX catalogue, 2MASS, and IRAS---all with accordant positions. The star is not in USNO-A2.0 since it is invisible on the POSS-I blue plate. The 2MASS photometry shows no uncertainty listed for the K-band magnitude, and this is a sign either of saturation or that there was some error in the data-reduction. Thus the J-K color is suspect, and the fact that it is not red is not significant. \Brian
