It was detected by the PIXY system as one of the candidates of new
variable stars from images taken by KenIchi Kadota, Ageo City,
Saitama, Japan, then confirmed by Seiichi Yoshida.

The magnitude are measured automatically by the PIXY system. Image
observers' names are noted after "Mis", except for ones taken by
KenIchi Kadota.

V991 Sgr is 1.2 arcmin from MisV0859. No star brighter than 14.0 mag
was detected at the cataloged position of V991 Sgr. However, V991 Sgr
is a short period variable star between 14.1-14.9 mag. Because the
magnitude range of MisV0859 is larger than 2.7 mag, MisV0859 is
probably a new variable star.
