Re: Variable Star Positions

In addition to the all GCVS and NSVs available at:

  ftp://ftp.sai.msu.su/pub/groups/cluster/gcvs/gcvs/iii/iii.dat
  ftp://ftp.sai.msu.su/pub/groups/cluster/gcvs/gcvs/nsv/nsv.dat
  ftp://ftp.sai.msu.su/pub/groups/cluster/gcvs/gcvs/nsvsup/nsvs.dat

Please also check the undesignated variable stars, like ones
discovered by the MISAO Project, available at:

  ftp://vsnet.kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp/pub/vsnet/others/newvar.cat.gz

But I believe the very new variable stars, just after posted to IBVS
or VSNET, may not be in the list for a while. For example, TASS's new
variable stars announced in [vsnet-newvar 2108] to [vsnet-newvar 2110]
have not been added in the list yet.

Best regards,
