NSV 8001 is LPV




Tom's "July" dataset shows the LPV-hood of this object, with a V-I of
greater than +3 and three nights of observations that suggest Mira but
do not preclude SR.

Again, another candidate more suited to visual follow up.

>From Tom's data max mag is going to be around 11 in V, which more or
less agrees with TA Q1992/027 photographic info, the ROTSE1 10.4 CCD
mag, and improves on the "13p" max known mag in the NSV.

Minimum may be a bit low for visual observers though (less than mag 16
apparently) and highly seasonal LPVs are problematic with respect to
observation runs, but here's an LPV that only needs to be followed to be
defined, it's nature being pretty certain.

(Also mentioned because it appears to be the "July" dataset's WS index
record holder).
