Actually, we have some dozens of images in 1999 around the Sgr/Sco
Milky Way. 

Now that Kato-san made the list of those variable stars, we will add
them to the MISAO database in the near future. I have to re-exam those
1999 images using PIXY 2 because they were examined using old PIXY 1
System. Then we will ready to report all of those stars within those
images fields.

# Maybe I have to buy a large volume hard disk... 

But our policy is: we view the CCD images for every star before
reporting the magnitude to VSNET using our own eyes, not fully
automatically. It takes some time, of course. So no special list is
required, I guess, if other vsnet-obs subscribers do not need. 

There can be another policy: we can report all the magnitude data of
all variable stars within our images, without any human check. In that
case, some data will be erroneous, but huge number of observations
will be reported. 

Our current policy has one problem. We have no time to view all images
of all stars. So most of the magnitude data is deadly buried in my
hard disk.

Best regards,
