AS 296
R. H. McNaught, Siding Spring Observatory, reports that this
star appears in outburst on Atlas Stellarum, 1968 July 27, at magnitude
B = 12.9. Examination of Schmidt survey films from 1984-86
gives evidence of only slight variability around minimum. Patrol
photographs by McNaught in 1986-87 yield a minimum magnitude of V
qbout 11.8. Estimates from recent patrol photographs are 1988 May
21.59 UT, 11.5:; June 12.67, 10.4; 13.70, 10.4; 23.76, 10.0; 24.72,
10.0; July 11.59, 10.0. Visual magnitude estimates: July 10.02 UT,
10.1 (P. Schmeer, Bischmisheim, W. Germany); 11.00, 10.0 (Schmeer);
12.5, 10.0 (P. Williams, Heathcote, N.S.W.); 13.5, 10.0 (A. Pearce,
Woodlands, W. Australia).
