Noel has just processed a Sky 90/M25C image of an open cluster. We had already imaged the same cluster a couple of years earlier with the Hyperstar 1 and SXV-H9C. One very faint very red star of around magnitude 13 shows up as a bright orange magnitude 7 star in the latest data. We have identified the star as a variable which may undergo mag 2 variations – but a 6 mag change is a bit steep by anyone’s standards! We are looking into this a bit deeper and have sent the data to an expert at the BAA. Watch this space. New discovery? Quite possibly 🙂
Stop Press!!! Stop Press!!! Possible discovery from the NFO!!!
