Tom's "July" dataset shows the LPV-hood of this object, with a V-I of greater than +3 and three nights of observations that suggest Mira but do not preclude SR. Again, another candidate more suited to visual follow up. From Tom's data max mag is going to be around 11 in V, which more or less agrees with TA Q1992/027 photographic info, the ROTSE1 10.4 CCD mag, and improves on the "13p" max known mag in the NSV. Minimum may be a bit low for visual observers though (less than mag 16 apparently) and highly seasonal LPVs are problematic with respect to observation runs, but here's an LPV that only needs to be followed to be defined, it's nature being pretty certain. (Also mentioned because it appears to be the "July" dataset's WS index record holder).

Already well-established object. See e.g.

Well spotted John. NSV8001 is a large amplitude Mira, I don't have my notes here so I can't tell you the period - but period there is. I've been working with Mike Collins photographic stuff and visual observations, and am in the process of writing it up
