I have two nights of V data from W Aur that is driving me crazy. The
measured magnitude will vary by several tenths of a magnitude depending
on which comp stars I use. I finally concluded that 13.2, 14.0, and
14.1 are in error (F chart dated 12/70). Using 13.1, 11.4, 12.1 in an
ensemble, I measured as follows:
13.2 13.57 +/- 0.007
14.0 14.56 +/- 0.01
14.1 14.29 +/-0.01
Both nights data are consistent. I figured that such a thing isn't
likely so I must be doing something wrong. But the new values result in
consistent measurements of the variable.
So is anyone else having problems with W Aur?
Thanks
