Dear colleagues! I would like to send you observations of a new variable star (Brh V73), 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 V73 173530.4 +040538 (J2000) 11.0 11.4 (CCD) SR comments: Brh V73: GSC 422 1393 The comparison star is GSC 422 663 (11.7 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 V73 000702.9183 11.07 Brh.BAV Brh V73 000706.9197 11.13 Brh.BAV Brh V73 000717.8960 11.32 Brh.BAV Brh V73 000722.9044 11.39 Brh.BAV Brh V73 000731.8933 11.13 Brh.BAV Brh V73 000801.8884 11.15 Brh.BAV Brh V73 000809.9030 10.99 Brh.BAV Brh V73 000811.8676 11.01 Brh.BAV Brh V73 000814.8697 10.96 Brh.BAV Brh V73 000820.8627 10.99 Brh.BAV Regards, Klaus Bernhard Klaus Bernhard Kafkaweg 5 A-4030 LINZ AUSTRIA kl.bernhard@aon.at http://mitglied.tripod.de/KlausBernhard/index.html
