Timeseries photometry with unfiltered CCD of VX For at CBA Pretoria on the
night 15-16 Sep 2009 show modulations with amplitude around 0.2 and period
around 1.5h. The mean magnitude was 12.9CR.
Astrometry vs UCAC2 determines VX For at position 03 26 45.72 -34 26 24.6
(2000)
This is exactly the same value as in the 2006 D&S catalogue.
For photometric comparison I have used a star at position 03 26 57.8049 -34
28 00.090
with a derived R magnitude 13.2 .
This star is an easy target for southern observers.
