10-min variability of V1363 Cyg

The star was observed remotely using the PIRATE (pirate.open.ac.uk) 17-inch telescope with R filter. 
The light curve is shown at http://uavso.org.ua/curves/v1363Cyg.gif
with a sine approximation and 1*sigma and 2*sigma error corridors.
As there is no R standard for this field at the AAVSO chart 
( aavso.org/vsp ), we made a differential photometry is shown in respect to the star 145 
(B=15.265(0.022), V=14.497(0.012), Rc=14.086(0.050)). 
The mean brightness <Var-Comp>=14.086-0.502(4)=13.584(4) mag.


The periodogram was computed using the same trigonometric polynomial fit of order 1 (1994OAP.....7...49A) 
implemented in the program MCV (Andronov, Baklanov, http://uavso.pochta.ru/mcv).
The periodogram is shown at  http:/uavso.org.ua/curves/v1363Cyg-p.gif

The peak at the periodogram corresponds to the period P=0.00699 d (Max JD=2455691.43961+-0.00037), 
which is close to that reported in 
[vsnet-alert 13294] by Enrique de Migeul (P=0.00732(15)d=10.54 minutes and 0.101(6)d)
but differs by 14% from that in
[vsnet-alert 13296] by Jan Miller (P=0.00593(4)d=8.54 minutes, amplitude 0.05 mag).

Our peak, as well as that published in these VSNET - circulars, are marked at this figure.

For our observations, the semi-amplitude is 0.016(5) mag, less than reported by Jan Miller.
