   To my knowledge, the star has not been known as a variable star (GCVS,
NSV and other individual discovery reports).  The star has no apparent
identifications in other wavelengths.

   Writing an IBVS article would be probably the most approved way.

   [vsnet-newvar 650] provides an alternative way and some practical hints:
