Dear colleagues! I would like to send you observations of a new variable star (Brh V85), 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 V85 181813.7 +072828 (J2000) 12.0-12.3 (CCD) SR comments: Brh V85: GSC 444 595 The comparison star is GSC 444 639 (11.9 mag), which has been checked for constant brightness. The red colour (USNO A2.0 r: 11.9, b: 15.0) and the apparently slow change of brightness suggest a SR-variable. object YYMMDD(UT) mag (CCD) code Brh V85 010624.9986 12.08 Brh.BAV Brh V85 010625.9646 12.01 Brh.BAV Brh V85 010626.9632 12.02 Brh.BAV Brh V85 010703.9458 12.22 Brh.BAV Brh V85 010705.9549 12.21 Brh.BAV Brh V85 010709.9583 12.25 Brh.BAV Brh V85 010714.9660 12.25 Brh.BAV Brh V85 010715.9389 12.25 Brh.BAV Brh V85 010717.9528 12.19 Brh.BAV Brh V85 010721.9444 12.11 Brh.BAV Regards, Klaus Bernhard Klaus Bernhard Kafkaweg 5 A-4030 LINZ AUSTRIA kl.bernhard@aon.at http://mitglied.tripod.de/KlausBernhard/index.html
