[vsnet-alert 21982] Re: Vend S934: a possible bright (12.5-13.0mag) CV candidate in Cygnus?

[FIDRICH Róbert fidusz@gmail.com via vsnet-alert]

On CCD images made by Vikrant Kumar Agnihotri at March 16.9358 UT there 
is no bright object at the given position.
The blue star USNO A2.0 1425-09651911 seems to be in quiescence near 
18-18.5 mag.

Best,

Robert
