   Forwarded discovery report:

From: "Robert Koff" <Bob.Koff@worldnet.att.net>
Subject: Possible New Variable Star
Date: Thu, 4 Oct 2001 16:06:34 -0000

In the course of doing asteroid lightcurves, I have come across what appears to
be a new variable star.

The star is GSC 1851 0320, located at 05h 26m 21.09s, +24d 49m 50s.  The
amplitude of the variation is 0.2 mag, and the period is still uncertain, but
appears to be 0.1437 day.

I could find no reference to this star on VSNET or on Simbad.

Information and lightcurves are on my web site at

I and some helpful people from AAVSO are continuing to monitor this star.
