TASV J0534+436 (Q2000/297)
Mike Collins, Everton, Bedfordshire, England reports that he noted
a suspected variable was faint in area 39 during patrols of
2000 Aug 30 and 2000 Oct 23 for the UK Nova/Supernova patrol using
a 135mm telephoto lens and Kodak 2415 film. The respective
magnitudes were 11.9 and 11.6 whereas on a master of 1999 Mar 10
the magnitude reduces to 10.8 using a revised sequence by the
editor.
The suspected variable is GSC 2922.0284 catalogued as V=12.02 and
is located at: RA 05h34m53s DEC +43 38'54" (2000). Mike adds
that IRAS 05312+4336 appears to be a candidate.
The editor notes that GSC 2922.0670, catalogued at V=13.9 lies
just to the south of the suspect. Further both show clearly
on the Digital Palomar Sky Survey (red) plate of 1953 Jan 10
with GSC 2922.670 at about magnitude 10.4 on the TA sequence.
