   Just because "EQ" does not refer to any specific catalog, but simply
represents "unspecified equatorial coordinates".  EQ 1502+09 = 1502+09.

   If there would be an independent AAVSO designation, such one should
be referred to "AAVSO 1502+09" with the valid catalog specification,
but such an usage should be avoided unless this is perfectly unavoidable
(no other designation other than the AAVSO one).
