Being that this is the only star reasonably nearby to GK Per in the mid-11
mag range, I bet a lot of observers are using it now, and consequently a
lot of estimates are coming in too faint. Someone should do quality
photometry on this one ASAP. I have been using it as a reference visually
at mag 11.5 (my own estimate!)
