[vsnet-alert 15277] Vend225 - a possible new OT?

[FIDRICH Robert]

Dear Friends,

I found a new transient-like (CV?) candidate on my LX And images taken
on 5 January. My images show a probably variability of Vend225
between 14.04TG and 15.75TG.

Vend225 = USNO-B1.0 1309-0044373 or USNO-B1.0 1309-0044366    

Approximate co-ordinates: 02 24 52.637    +40 54 11.12

It looks like there is an outburst in the NSVS data, but no sign of variability on the CRTS light curve:

If it's a CV, then we can see probably the combined light of the ~15 mag
and the ~17 mag star (10" distance).
