New Be Stars for the AAVSO Photoelectric Photometry Program

There are four Be stars in the AAVSO Photoelectric Photometry Program. Results of the observations of three of them (V2048 Oph, V832 Cyg, and EW Lac) have been published in JAAVSO 25, 14-20, (1996), the most recent issue. It appears that Be stars are well suited for the AAVSO PEPP, so we have added a few more. The finding charts and other particulars are attached. These stars should be observed on each clear night, if possible. Be sure to.observe the comparison and check stars as often as the variable. These -observations are being made as part of an international program of long-te= UBV photometry of bright Be stars, coordinated by Petr Hamanec, Ondrejov Observatory, Czech Republic. I thank Petr for his advice, assistance, and collaboration over many years.
