Checking 211 Stardial-images from 1996 to 2000 showed
IRAS 18436-0505 to be a Mira star.
The period is probably around 480 days judging from the
lightcurve with Maxima around 2450960 and 2451440(:).
Differential Photometry was done with MIRA AP 6.03 with
respect to GSC 5129-29 (V=8.72, B-V=1.2).
There is a nearby star (GSC 5122 886) which contaminates the
measurements when V45 is weak.
The Stardial-project is one of the most fascinating aspects of the WEB,
many thanks to Peter McCullough!!
