[Aavso-photometry] Var Her 04 Update

[Aaron Price]

 It looks like Var Her 04 is nice and steady now. Good CCDV coverage by
Robert James (JM) reveals a steady period around V=16 for this week.
 Thursday I visited the Harvard College Observatory Plate Stacks with
Matthew Templeton and together we looked through 164 plates of the RH
series from 1929-1950. We discovered four previous outbursts and one more
possible outburst (detection was questionable)! This is looking more and
more like a UGSU star.
 With that data, and new astrometry from Arne, we submitted an
announcement to CBAT which will hopefully be published as an IAUC soon.
I'll post it here when it does.
  *** Please continue to observe! ***
  We don't need time series data anymore, but very precise observations in
V are needed to monitor it every night to see if it begisn to fade again.
So please add it to the top of your observing program and observe it once
per night you spend under the stars. We need to set a quiescence level for
the star and that requires consistent monitoring for a while. Please keep
an eye on it!
