Not required.


Notes:

1. A new red variable star discovered by Didier Favre.

2. A very tentative examination of the available imagery indicates that
this variable has a magnitude range of about 13-20. The discovery appears
to have been made near the time of maximum magnitude.

3. This is a highly reddened region, and all the stars here are highly
reddened. But it should still be noted that the new red variable is the
reddest object in the immediate vicinity.
