Re: new star

[Michael Koppelman <lolife@bitstream.net>]

As part of my field calibration learning project and just to help me  
out as I observe this star, I've created a chart and sequence here:

http://www.lolife.com/astronomy/gsc717-1091/

This is (supposedly) "standard" photometry in Johnson/Cousins BVRcIc.  
I've been meaning to compare this with TASS and ASAS data but I  
haven't. It compares pretty well with SIMBAD/VizieR.

If anyone wants to help me observe this star, dig in!

Cheers,
