A few days ago I observed this star. It's close to a nice Mira star: R Cet. As I entered my observation in WebObs and checked it in the LCG, I notices not too many observers followed it. So I checked VSX and there was a new note, made only a few hours ago: "Type changed to CST according to available data. (...)". The magnitude is 8.43 V, I only estimated it 3 times in a year, always at mag. 8.4 (few :-) !)

Yes, I've observed it a few times, ranging between 8.2 - 8.4, very unremarkable, glad I dropped in the end!:)
