[vsnet-gcvs 274] V410 Cas position

[Hitoshi YAMAOKA <yamaoka@rc.kyushu-u.ac.jp>]

Dear all,

  I happened to identify V410 Cas on the DSS images.  It was dim on
1954 images, but continuously bright during 1989-1995.  Combined with
the information in IBVS 3732 and VSNET observations, it has been in
the bright phase since 1978 up to now (almost quarter of a century).

  The J2000.0 position of this object has been reported as below:

GCVS printed version       00:23:24.6   +61:45:37     (processed)
Henden & Honeycutt (1995)  00:23:27.75  +61:46:27.7
 (VizieR extraction; 00:23:27.83  +61:46:27.4.  I don't know why differs.)
Kato (1999) = USNO-A1.0    00:23:27.637 +61:46:28.84
GCVS online                00:23:27.7   +61:46:29
Downes online catalog      00:23:27.65  +61:46:28.8

  Consulting the modern catalogs: 

USNO-A2.0 00:23:27.655 +61:46:29.10 r=18.2  b=18.4  1954.747
GSC-2.2.1 00:23:27.638 +61:46:29.13 r=14.65 b=15.55 1991.683

  Then, at least for this object. the online GCVS and Downes' catalog
give an enouth accurate position, while other old ones are not.  This
object seems to have a small proper motion, so likely it is a distant
(>1kpc) object.

Sincerely Yours,
