[vsnet-obs 53588] FN Sgr Recent Photometry

[Steve O'Connor]

The eclipsing symbiotic FN Sgr was recently observed. Comparison star used is from Henden and Munari(2000). It is the V=13.47 star just E. of FN. On the VSNET chart (1996) it is V=13.51. Note that these values differ significantly from that appearing on the current AAVSO chart. There it is labeled as '140'. This may account in part for the 'very faint' observations being reported by some other observers. 

my data:

SGRFN 20050928.022 13.52V OCN
SGRFN 20051005.991 13.46V OCN
SGRFN 20051005.994 12.48R OCN
SGRFN 20051011.981 13.6V OCN  this observation under poor conditions.
