[vsnet-sequence 43] Nova Suspect in Taurus

Thanks to Arne Henden performing photometry on Didier Favre's nova 
suspect in Taurus, I have been able to prepare the following sequence 
for this new red variable.

b) Widecolour extension for CCD calibration

Not required.


Notes:

1. A new red variable star discovered by Didier Favre.

2. A very tentative examination of the available imagery indicates 
that this variable has a magnitude range of about 13-20. The 
discovery appears to have been made near the time of maximum 
magnitude.

3. This is a highly reddened region, and all the stars here are 
highly reddened. But it should still be noted that the new red 
variable is the reddest object in the immediate vicinity.
