Dear colleagues! I would like to send you observations of a new variable star (BeV48), which I have discovered in a systematic CCD-based search for new variables. In each observing run typically 400 images are taken of several survey fields. The frames are processed automatically. Instruments: CCD-camera:Starlight Xpress SX (unfiltered) Telescope: Celestron-8 (20 cm Schmidt-Cassegrain) New variable star: new BeV48 180054.9 +040833.3 (J2000) 11.6 11.9(CCD) SR comments: BeV48: GSC 438 1458 Comparison star was for all measurements GSC 438 2617 (12.0 mag), which was checked to be constant. The slowly change in brightness and the red colour (USNO A2.0 r:11.2 mag, b:13.4 mag) suggest a SR-variable. object YYMMDD(UT) mag (CCD) code BeV48 000702.9361 11.93 BRH.BAV BeV48 000706.9375 11.88 BRH.BAV BeV48 000717.9138 11.63 BRH.BAV BeV48 000722.9222 11.61 BRH.BAV BeV48 000731.9111 11.58 BRH.BAV BeV48 000801.9062 11.65 BRH.BAV BeV48 000809.9208 11.69 BRH.BAV BeV48 000811.8854 11.75 BRH.BAV BeV48 000812.8902 11.73 BRH.BAV Regards, Klaus Bernhard Klaus Bernhard Kafkaweg 5 A-4030 LINZ AUSTRIA e-mail: kl.bernhard@aon.at
