A REQUEST FOR PHOTOMETRY FOR COMAPRIONS OF NOVA OPH 1993
I have received a GSC chart from Mati Morel (New Castle NSW) for the Nova.
I have below listed the lettered comparison stars and the measured off sets
from the 10"/mm chart. I have also listed all the GSC data of all stars
plotted on the chart. If observers who can do Photometry of the Comparsion
stars please measure the lettered stars and advise me as soon as possible.
These magnitudes will be used by the VSS RASNZ and the AAVSO by their
visual observers for Observations. It is very important that all Major
Variable star sections use the same comparisons this will help to cut out
the errors in reported observations by using different sequences.
The V magnitudes of Stars 1 - 3 are from the Hipparcos Catalogue.
LETTERED STARS:
Off Sets (IN ARC MIN.) +/- 0.1'
82 12.6 E 0.8 N (Star 3 in my email of Yesterday V = 8.185 B-V 0.478)
a 1.3 W 1.0 N
b 15.8 E 8.8 S
c 7.8 W 7.8 S
d 4.1 E 12.0 N (Star 2 in My email of Yesterday V = 9.35 B-V 0.528)
e 1.1 W 14.3 N (Star 1 in my email of Yesterday V = 8.60 B-V 0.60)
f 3.1 W 9.5 S
g 5.0 W 5.0 S
h 6.0 E 3.1 S

"******************" this star was not visible to magnitude 12v on April
18th, Mati said there is no known variable star in that position, and I can
not recall finding a variable object in this position during my searchers
over the past two years. The star must be some kind of Flaw??.
Serval of the lettered star are listed twice or three times in the GSC as
listed above.
I look forward to receive Photometry of these lettered stars.
Cheers,
