(fwd) Symbiotic Star StHa-164 in Aql The available photometry in the past (by M. Moriyama) is consistent with the present epoch V magnitude. The object may have undergone a brightening at the time of Henden's observation? From: "Steve O'Connor" <ocn@total.net> Date: Wed, 23 May 2001 12:40:12 -0400 Subject: [vsnet-obs 33905] Symbiotic Star StHa-164 in Aql: CCDV+R Estimates My initial observations of the little-studied symbiotic StHa-164 in Aquila give the following results: StHa164 20010517.330 12.84R OCN StHa164 20010517.338 14.20V OCN Secquence base: A.Henden and U.Munari (2001) Note: In my copy of their (Paper 2), the above authors cite a Bmag. of 14.48 and a B-V index of +2.03 for this star. The present observations suggest that either the object has strongly faded or their quoted Bmag value was a transcription error and actually represents Vmag. best regards, Steve O'Connor VSNET/AAVSO
