[vsnet 762] More about V337 Cyg

[bas@lowell.edu (Brian Skiff)]

     The variable V337 Cygni was reported by Walter Baade in 1928 (Astron.
Nach. 232, 65), who provided a precise position for the star:

19 57 13.6  +39 01 32 (1925.0)
19 59 53.3  +39 13 55 (2000.0)

Interestingly, there is a mag. 16 star very close to this position in the
US Naval Observatory "UJ1.0" catalogue:

19 59 53.6  +39 13 55 (2000.0)

which they give as mag. 16.45 from J (blue-green) plates.  The Digitized
Sky Survey (from the POSS-I red plate) shows a star of about this brightness
or slightly brighter at this location, so evidently this star has ordinary
colors (not extremely red, for instance).
