(fwd) V854 Oph (Antipin) Date: Thu, 8 Feb 2001 16:43:19 +0300 (MSK) From: "Sergei V. Antipin" <antipin@sai.msu.ru> Subject: Re: Re: V854 Oph Dear Dr. Kato, We already mentioned, in our previous message, that the GCVS type and period on V854 Oph were probably not correct. The star seems to be not a mira but rather a considerably more interesting large amplitude red variable. So, further observations are strongly encouraged to investigate V854 Oph and classify it correctly. Best regards, Sergei Antipin Nikolai Samus
