Dear colleagues! I would like to send you observations of a new variable star (Brh V79), 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 V79 194947.2 +040723 (J2000) 13.0 13.6 (CCD) SR comments: Brh V79: GSC 488 3486 The comparison star is GSC 488 3100 (12.7 mag), which has been checked for constant brightness. The red colour (USNO A2.0 r: 12.2, b: 15.2) and the apparently slow change of brightness suggest a SR-variable. object YYMMDD(UT) mag (CCD) code Brh V79 000707.0132 13.57 Brh.BAV Brh V79 000722.9979 13.48 Brh.BAV Brh V79 000731.9868 13.35 Brh.BAV Brh V79 000801.9819 13.35 Brh.BAV Brh V79 000819.9535 13.27 Brh.BAV Brh V79 000820.9563 13.24 Brh.BAV Brh V79 010621.0583 13.04 Brh.BAV Regards, Klaus Bernhard Klaus Bernhard Kafkaweg 5 A-4030 LINZ AUSTRIA kl.bernhard@aon.at http://mitglied.tripod.de/KlausBernhard/index.html
