Dear colleagues! I would like to send you observations of a new variable star (Brh V116), 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 V116 173825.5 -034042.4 (J2000) 13.6-13.8 (CCD) comments: Brh V116: GSC2.2 S220030227697 The comparison star is GSC 5089 320 (13.3 mag), which has been checked for constant brightness. The USNO A2.0 magnitudes (r:11.4, b: 14.7) and the following observations suggest a long period variable, type and period still unknown. Vizier investigations show that further photometry for this object can be found via the TASS Mk III tenxcat database at: http://a188-l009.rit.edu/cgi-bin/tass_curve2.cgi?264.6060_-03.6786 These observations confirm the variability of GSC2.2 S220030227697. object YYMMDD(UT) mag(CCD) code Brh V116 020626.9451 13.61 Brh.BAV Brh V116 020630.9333 13.69 Brh.BAV Brh V116 020701.9145 13.61 Brh.BAV Brh V116 020705.9409 13.66 Brh.BAV Brh V116 020707.9125 13.71 Brh.BAV Brh V116 020708.9034 13.70 Brh.BAV Brh V116 020719.9006 13.80 Brh.BAV Brh V116 020720.9013 13.81 Brh.BAV Regards, Klaus Bernhard Klaus Bernhard Kafkaweg 5 A-4030 LINZ AUSTRIA kl.bernhard@aon.at http://mitglied.lycos.de/klausbernhard/
