Dear colleagues, New variable star discovery by the MISAO Project (MisV0864). MisV0864 R.A. 17h59m47s.50 Decl. -25o12'32".1 (2000.0) Mag. 13.2C-14.5C Type E? http://vsnet.aerith.net/misao/data/MisV/MisV0864.gif MisV0864 19990408.75186 134C Mis MisV0864 19990408.75242 133C Mis MisV0864 19990430.74588 134C Mis MisV0864 19990430.74631 133C Mis MisV0864 19990923.42939 132C Mis MisV0864 19990923.42981 132C Mis MisV0864 20000224.83137 145C Mis MisV0864 20000224.83192 144C Mis 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. NSV 24062 is 1.7 arcmin from NSV 24062. No star brighter than 14.4 mag was detected at the cataloged position of NSV 24062. However, the variability of USNO-A2.0 0600.29859229, R.A. 17h59m39s.613, Decl. -25o13'30".30, was detected, between 10.8 - 12.4 mag. Therefore, USNO-A2.0 0600.29859229 is NSV 24062, and MisV0864 is thus a new variable star.
