Dear colleagues! I would like to send you observations of a new variable star (Brh V72), 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 Brh V72 172515.6 +040108 (J2000) 11.3 11.7 (CCD) SR comments: Brh V72: GSC 409 571; The comparison star is GSC 409 956 (11.4 mag), which has been checked for constant brightness. The red colour (USNO A 2.0: r:11.5, b:14.0) and the apparently slow variation in brightness suggest a SR-variable. object YYMMDD(UT) mag (CCD) code Brh V72 000706.9125 11.44 Brh.BAV Brh V72 000717.8888 11.41 Brh.BAV Brh V72 000722.8972 11.38 Brh.BAV Brh V72 000731.8861 11.33 Brh.BAV Brh V72 000801.8812 11.40 Brh.BAV Brh V72 000809.8958 11.50 Brh.BAV Brh V72 000811.8604 11.62 Brh.BAV Brh V72 000812.8652 11.60 Brh.BAV Brh V72 000814.8625 11.65 Brh.BAV Brh V72 000820.8555 11.63 Brh.BAV Regards, Klaus Bernhard Klaus Bernhard Kafkaweg 5 A-4030 LINZ AUSTRIA kl.bernhard@aon.at http://mitglied.tripod.de/KlausBernhard/index.html
