V930 CYGNI
Laszlo Szentasko, Hungary e-mails:
"This 'L-type' star has brightened further.Its present strange
behavior is similar to that of V1419 Aql,which is a ZAND- type
variable.It had an interesting outburst last year,when it faded
from magnitude 13.2 to 14.3 (this low state took two months).
Then it brightened to magnitude 12.3. The brightening from the low
state took approximately 27 days (0.07 mag/day).
I have observed it for three years and its brightness has not
changed until 1994 June,it remaining at magnitude 12.5.
The variations began in June 1994,when it suddenly faded by 1.5
mags. The low state took approximately two months as well,
but it was very unstable. The brightening from the low state
has taken approx. 50 days and its brightness has already reached
magnitude 11.3 (0.038 magn./day)."

Editor: The variable is in the field of EM Cyg and the AAVSO
chart for that variable may be used. The GCVS has:
RA 19h37m09s DEC +30 21.9'[1950]. LB 12.9-13.9p

CH CYGNI
Jochen Pietz, Germany e-mails that he has observed a fade of
