This message from Tom Krajci. Just in case you plan to image V389 Cas in the future...the star is GSC 3272-0316. See the e-mails below for the details. I hope this helps.

Romano, Pubbl. Oss. Padova No. 123, 1962). You are right, the variable is GSC 3272.00316. The misidentification was first made by L. Plaut (Astron. Astrophys. Suppl. 28, 169, 1977). Unfortunately, his identification was not duely checked against the finding chart when preparing the current GCVS Vol. I version with improved coordinates. The necessary correction will be introduced within days. Thank you very much for notifying us.

Correct star is GSC 3272-0316. Eclipse is approx. 45 minutes later than predicted. I have also combined/compared my data from five nights earlier...taken together, the data phase up properly with a period of 2.494757 days...as published on the eclipse generator website at: http://vsnet.rollinghillsobs.org:8000/perl/calcEBephem.pl Below is an email I received from Franz Agerer where he also identifies the star as GSC 3272-0316 from his previous work. Also, if you look at the published magnitude of V389 Cas...it does not match the actual magnitude of the star identified in the databases...it more closely matches the magnitude of GSC 3272-0316. Based on all this I'm confident that V389 Cas is in fact GSC 3272-0316. How do we go about making updates to the catalogs and databases? Tom Krajci Tashkent, Uzbekistan -----Original Message----- From: Agerer.Zweik@t-online.de Greetings from Bavaria! I have observed V389 Cas photoelectrically on 1989-10-04/05 and on 1999-10-17/18. I identified the variable with GSC 3272.0316. In both cases this star showed me a deep minimum (HJD 2447804.5159 (V) and HJD 2451469.4095 (V)). Yours sincerely, Franz Agerer.
