Dear colleagues! I would like to send you observations of a new variable star (Brh V96), 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 V96 200330.4 +072245 (J2000) 12.4-12.8 (CCD) SR comments: Brh V96 has no number in GSC. The comparison star is GSC 506 261 (12.2 mag), which has been checked for constant brightness. The colour (USNO A2.0 r: 12.7, b: 15.3) and the apparently slow change of brightness suggest a SR-variable with a period of more than 80 days. Other types of variability cannot be excluded. object YYMMDD(UT) mag (CCD) code Brh V96 010625.0714 12.43 Brh.BAV Brh V96 010627.0360 12.40 Brh.BAV Brh V96 010704.0186 12.65 Brh.BAV Brh V96 010706.0276 12.56 Brh.BAV Brh V96 010710.0311 12.57 Brh.BAV Brh V96 010711.0214 12.66 Brh.BAV Brh V96 010715.0388 12.75 Brh.BAV Brh V96 010718.0256 12.79 Brh.BAV Brh V96 010722.0172 12.81 Brh.BAV Brh V96 010729.0144 12.70 Brh.BAV Brh V96 010731.0221 12.77 Brh.BAV Regards, Klaus Bernhard Klaus Bernhard Kafkaweg 5 A-4030 LINZ AUSTRIA kl.bernhard@aon.at http://mitglied.tripod.de/KlausBernhard/index.html
