I guess GSC 00396-00073 may be a good choice then, at V=11.7, amplitude
about 0.4 mag and in view of the asymmetry of the light curve it looks
like a Delta Scuti, if the period turns out to be around 5 to 6 hours
(which I guess it is), or an RR Lyrae, if the period turns out to be
much longer.  (Note that part of this is just speculation based on two
2-hour and two 1-hour stretches of the light curve).
