Dear colleagues! I would like to send you observations of a new variable star (BeV55), 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 BeV55 200113.8 +040129.6 (J2000) 11.6 11.8 (CCD) SR comments: BeV55: GSC 502 710 Comparison star was for all measurements GSC 502 2024 (12.2 mag), which was checked to be constant. The apparently slow change in brightness and the red colour (USNO A2.0 r:11.4 mag, b:14.1 mag) suggest a SR-variable. object YYMMDD(UT) mag (CCD) code BeV55 000707.0021 11.60 BRH.BAV BeV55 000717.9972 11.64 BRH.BAV BeV55 000723.0055 11.80 BRH.BAV BeV55 000731.9944 11.80 BRH.BAV BeV55 000801.9895 11.82 BRH.BAV BeV55 000810.0041 11.74 BRH.BAV BeV55 000811.9687 11.72 BRH.BAV BeV55 000814.9708 11.62 BRH.BAV BeV55 000820.9638 11.55 BRH.BAV Regards, Klaus Bernhard Klaus Bernhard Kafkaweg 5 A-4030 LINZ AUSTRIA e-mail: kl.bernhard@aon.at
