http://vsnet.nofs.navy.mil/tmp/fchaablma_fch.html Suggests that no variable lies immediately near V1978 Cyg's position The variability of HadV101 can be seen, and it does seem to just have the right sort of brightness range to be equatable V1978 Cyg on the red plates. The following obs give about a year, ~360 days between maxima, very roughly twice the approximate 169 day value given for V1978 Cyg in the GCVS. The below dates even roughly fit an ephemeris from the elements, but with an epoch as long ago as JD 2425749 and a period as short as 169 days, on top of the normal invariance in LPV periodicity, this may not mean anything. Certainly, however, for a period of around 169 days currently every other maxima is bound to be missed due to seasonality for this zodical variable. >HadV101 20000702.632 117p Had.VSOLJ >HadV101 20000708.619 122p Had.VSOLJ >HadV101 20000716.592 126p Had.VSOLJ >HadV101 20000802.535 <131p Had.VSOLJ >HadV101 20000822.519 132p Had.VSOLJ >HadV101 20000917.481 133p Had.VSOLJ >HadV101 20010226.841 127p Had.VSOLJ >HadV101 20010319.790 <123p Had.VSOLJ >HadV101 20010326.805 <134p Had.VSOLJ >HadV101 20010422.749 123p Had.VSOLJ >HadV101 20010517.666 127p Had.VSOLJ >HadV101 20010528.629 124p Had.VSOLJ >HadV101 20010615.639 <132p Had.VSOLJ >HadV101 20010626.608 <131p Had.VSOLJ >HadV101 20010713.583 113p Had.VSOLJ >HadV101 20010724.550 117p Had.VSOLJ Cheers John John Greaves UK
