Hello everyone,
while checking the brightness of ST Cyg, I saw a star with 11.3 mag. at the following coordinates: 20 33 7.7 +54 58 17.1
Can anybody check that out and take several pictures?? I think it could be a unknown variable, maybe a nova!?
Lots of greetings from Germany,
Nikolai
Hello Nikolai
I have checked your reported position for a possible unknown stellar object of 11th magnitude.
Unfortunately my results are negative, as follows:
July 8.0914 UT <16.0 TB (0.1)
July 8.0924 UT <15.0 TG (0.1)
July 8.0933 UT <14.2 TR (0.1)
best of luck to you and keep observing. ST Cyg is a fine target !

Hello, I checked visually your position and nothing seen there down to v=14.4 on Jul 8 at 07:12 UT.
Maybe a minor planet?

I checked every list
Hello,
I checked every list in the Internet for a possible minor planet. I don't think that it is one. Otherwise I can say that, because I checked the stars 2 times. On Jul 6 and on Jul 7, and the position was exactly the same.
Maybe a geostationary satellite? I think there are no other possibilities. What could be these object, theoretically?? A minor planet, a asteroid or a geostationary satellite. I will keep observing it, but thank you both very much for observing the position.
Greetings Nikolai
Ok, now I checked the position again and I found USNOA2 1425-10873965. This is the alleged variable.
My star chart confused me with the brightness of the comparison stars. I'm sorry about that. Thank you for helping me!
Greetings Nikolai
