New variable Star HassfortherV17

By blinking Stardial-images the star GSC 5101-0214 proofed to be variable.
HassfortherV17
(2000) 18h09m51.24  -02 00.6996
= GSC 5101-0214
= IRAS 18072-0201

Checking 176 Stardial-images from 1996 to 2000 showed GSC 5101-0214 to be a new semiregular variable star with small amplitude (about 0.5 in I) and a period of about 60 days. The amplitude changes from 0.2 to 0.5 mag.

Differential photometry was done against GSC 5097 0241
(Tycho-Photometry: VT=9.735, BT=11.468).

Lightcurve from 1998 as an example:
New variable star HassfortherV17

A check of the available TASS-measurements proofed the star to be slightly variable with small amplitude.
Judging from the TASS-Photometry the star is extremly red (V-I = +5.6):
V = 13.740  Error=0.394  n=11
I =  8.112  Error=0.129  n=31

The Stardial-project is one of the most fascinating aspects of the WEB, many thanks to Peter McCullough!!
The TASS-Database is a very valuable source to check and verify new findings. Many thanks to the TASS-people.
