Hi,

In making a database of all my LPV observations and correcting the magnitudes
of the comp. stars to high quality photometry I found this error observation :

19980613.0     Cep AB      12.0   BMM    115-121 = WRONG

should be the variable BF Cep (it was noted as such on my own handwritten papers which I still keep)

so the correct observation made at that time should be submitted as :

19980613.0     Cep BF      12.0   BMM    115-121 (chart used = PE 9/74)
