Dear colleagues! I would like to send you observations of a new variable star (Brh V78), 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 V78 180521.9 +040546 (J2000) 11.4 11.8 (CCD) SR comments: Brh V78: GSC 438 1478 The comparison star is GSC 438 2478 (11.6 mag), which has been checked for constant brightness. The red colour (USNO A2.0 r: 11.4, b: 14.0) and the apparently slow change of brightness suggest a SR-variable. object YYMMDD(UT) mag (CCD) code Brh V78 000702.9390 11.61 Brh.BAV Brh V78 000706.9404 11.64 Brh.BAV Brh V78 000717.9168 11.48 Brh.BAV Brh V78 000722.9251 11.45 Brh.BAV Brh V78 000731.9140 11.43 Brh.BAV Brh V78 000801.9092 11.53 Brh.BAV Brh V78 000809.9238 11.42 Brh.BAV Brh V78 000811.8883 11.43 Brh.BAV Brh V78 000812.8932 11.44 Brh.BAV Brh V78 000814.8904 11.43 Brh.BAV Brh V78 000819.8807 11.48 Brh.BAV Brh V78 000820.8835 11.53 Brh.BAV Brh V78 010620.9856 11.77 Brh.BAV Brh V78 010623.9828 11.74 Brh.BAV Regards, Klaus Bernhard Klaus Bernhard Kafkaweg 5 A-4030 LINZ AUSTRIA kl.bernhard@aon.at http://mitglied.tripod.de/KlausBernhard/index.html
