TAV J2106+194 (=Q1996/038)
The suspected variable star found by Mike Collins and announced
on E1090 has been designated as above. This is based on work by
Nick James and also examination of negatives by the Editor which
were obtained by Mike Collins during the course of his work for
the UK Nova/Supernova Patrol.

Mike Collins advises us of the following light ephemeris for this
probable eclipsing binary:

JDMinI = 2449593.483 + 10.3536 E

Positive images of the star have been suspected as faint as 12.2
whereas the maxima are usually around 10.5. However some patrol
shots do not even show the star so the minimum may be fainter
than 12.2.

We expect to publish more details on this star in a forthcoming
issue of 'The Astronomer'.
