[vsnet 775] V337 Cyg chart

[Jan Manek <jmanek@mbox.vol.cz>]

Hello,

I would like to help with the V337 Cyg case. There really wasn't published
any finding chart for this star and the situation is same for (almost) all 
other stars in the two fields covered by Baade (AN 232, 65, 1928).

However, as a part of my PICA Project (abbreviation for Precise Identification
and Coordinate Adjustment) which should at the end give positions of about 7000
variable to at least 1" precision, I have triend (succesfully) to recover many
of Baade's stars in Cygnus field during my visit on Sonneberg Observatory 
in 1994 (many thanks to the observatory staff and Peter Kroll !)

I have found V337 Cyg in at least 3 outbursts, being usually less than 5 days 
long and reaching about 15 mag in maximum on blue plates. In minimum it is below
the plate limit (< 18 mag pg). Plate scans were made for both (maximum and 
minimum) states and hope to put them on VSNET WEB. The field size and
orientation
is approximately the same as present Ouda CCD frame on WEB.

The nearby star at 19 59 53.6  +39 13 55 (2000.0 - Skiff) stands almost on the 
Baade's position and was confusing during the identification process.

V337 Cyg position (not yet measured precisely) is    
     19 59 53.0   +39 14 02  (2000.0)

On this position is a faint trace of possible object in the Digitised Sky
Survey.
