Hello!
Doing time serie photometry on CI Cyg, I've got a problem with the
magnitude of reference star Label 88 (000-BCJ-157), 8.831 according to
Henden, which gives me only approximative mesures for check stars 115
and 117, with a 0.2 mag difference.
I've found that both Brian A. Skiff and Skopal use a different magnitude
mesure for star 88, about 0.2 mag brigther
IAUD Label Name V Henden V Skiff V Skopal
000-BCJ-157 88 HD 226041 8.831 8.588 8.60
000-BCJ-223 108 GSC 2677-1273 10.837 10.673
000-BCJ-202 115 GSC 2861-0298 11.548 11.56
000-BCJ-186 117 GSC 2861-1332 11.715 11.722
000-BCJ-177 125 J195019+3539.5 12.535 12.52
000-BCJ-181 135 J195022+3541.1 13.456 13.42
Using 8.588 for star 88 (Skiff) gives me quiet good results for the
check stars 115 and 117 (resp. 11.55 and 11.71). Note that for fainter
stars, Henden and Skiff mesures are in good agreement.
Have other observers the same issue or perhaps I'm wrong?
Thank you for your answer
Best regards
François Teyssier (France)
