This one is BO Mon, an eclipser that varies between about 10 and 12 according
to the GCVS... 2.25 day period.

The reason that Tom didn't see it in VizieR/GCVS is that the J2000 position in
VizieR is precessed (by VizieR) from B1950 07 57 19.0 -03 20 00.  In the
"real" GCVS, online at http://www.sai.msu.su/groups/cluster/gcvs/gcvs/, the
B1950 position is given as 07 57 19.9 -03 20 20, and the J2000 position as 07
59 50.1 -03 28 37, which is about what Tom got.  I'm guessing that this is one
of the stars that has had its position updated recently.

VizieR is a wonderful tool, but has its limitations, I am learning.
