[vsnet-alert 10880] Re: possible new cataclysmic variable in Ursa Major

[Jeremy Shears]

Dear Yamaoka-san,
 
I can confirm there is a star in the position you indicated:
 
2009 Jan 3.863  14. 8C
 
the comparison I used was GSC 3438-208 (14.05).
Takahashi FS102 fluorite refractor with Starlight Xpress SXV-M7 unfiltered CCD.
 
I will continue to monitor this star, but the conditions are poor.
