Dear all, T. Scarmato (toniscarmato@hotmail.com) asked what the star at 19h27m53s.70, -21d35'56".7 is. I checked some DSS images and found that it should be a red variable, and identified with USNO-A2.0 0675-33182874. T. Kato pointed out that it is also identified with an IR source, 2MASS 192753.574 -213552.67 (2000.0) 6.498 5.616 5.113 192752.8 -213554 (2000.0) IRAS19249-2142 3.511 1.394 0.400L 1.000L 6% On the other hand, NSV 12041 (ME) exists in the neighbour, but at this position (1950.0) there is no counterpart on DSS images. >12041 192459. -214200:M 731059 1922.0-21 ME I cannot seek this reference "731059", so the identification is not firm. Could someone kindly refer it? Sincerely Yours, Hitoshi Yamaoka, Kyushu Univ., Japan yamaoka@rc.kyushu-u.ac.jp
