Don't you want more?

Actually, I have picked up some evident variable stars from DSS 2
I-band plates. For example, please see a star at R.A.  05h13m59s.63,
Decl. +30o06'57".4 (2000.0).

In this case, the difference between plates will be very small, I
guess. But of course, only a few (two or several) observations are
available now.

I have a plan to assign a name like "MISAO-DSS V1" to those new
variable stars. Because they were observed only at one night or so in
the MISAO images, we cannot assign MisV numbers to them right now.

Of course, there can be another style. Maybe we had better wait for
another night to confirm the variability of them and then assign MisV
number to them.

Best regards,
