Re: Another New One?

Michael,

Don't!  (Stop sending posts) This is what this list is for.  To work on fun 
and interesting things.

I am glad that you have found one that you can observe.  I am working to 
reduce the part of the sky that will be visible for a while so that you 
will have more than one to look at.

Should you get a nice light curve, then per the (non) rules of tass you are 
free to publish it in whatever way you want.  However, should you choose to 
post your possible publication here for review, you will find many experts 
who will help you put it in the best possible form.  I think you will also 
find that the group can give you helpful advice on where and how to publish.

Hey guys.

I promise I'll stop sending an email to the list every time I think I have a
new one. This one, however, is placed OK for me to gather data, so I'm
hoping to verify this within the next few weeks, weather permitting.

I have a plot here:

http://www.lolife.com/883_1116/

It brightens by 0.53 magnitudes in 2 hours. It is not in SIMBAD or the
GCVS/NSV. B-R=1.1 and V-I=0.75, so I don't think it is "very" red. It
appears to be GSC 00883-01116 at RA 12 57 36.17 DEC 07 49 11.64. I'll let
you know if I'm able to verify this.

Cheers,
