   I simply considered the large proper motion is an apparent one, that
is from identifications of different stars (or combined stellar images)
overlapped on this large-amplitude variable.

   However, if the star is a genuine low-luminosity star with conspicuous
variablity, it may be a discovery of quite unique nature (the significance
may even surpass, dependeing on the nature, Haseda's discovery of Nova Sct
2000).

   I hope the apparent discrepancy would soon be positively solved.  The
object is reported bright now, and provides a great opportunity before
it returns to dormancy again.
