It has been proposed as a possible candidate for recurrent outburst in a list published by Commission 27 of the IAU at the 1967 Assembly and we have therefore added it to the recurrent objects programme. The identification is from Humason, Astrophys.J.88, 228 [1938]. The catalogued range (GCVS VI) is: 6.5-15.8pg and we would welcome photographs or CCD images of the object at minimum to check the accuracy of the GSC download below. The sequence is based on Steavenson, MNRAS 95, 642, [1935] agrees with that of the AAVSO with the addition of star J of 15.3 omitted from the AAVSO version. A (b) version of the e-mail chart is now also available as part of the FINDVGA.EXE original or upgrade purchase. The (c) format chart follows: \\\\\\HR Lyr c =Nova Lyr 1919 S,120,10,S -C,18.8906, 29.2233,2000 P,18h 51.5m +29 10' (1950) O,60,60,6.5,15.8pg -L,L,HR Lyr -T,Nova Seq:Steavenson -S,TA930829 R,11.8,69,70,A R,12.8,51,42,B R,13.3,47,47,C,R R,14.0,65,62,D R,14.2,57,51,E R,14.7,45,50,F R,15.0,65,54,G R,15.2,60,46,H R,15.3,54,56,J R,15.6,63,57,K M,10,77,1 M,11,76,116,110,77,51,22,13,75,22,104,56,108,91,53 M,11,119,60,2,6 M,12,72,34,38,61,52,24,32,102,89,68,30,22 M,12,3,111,42,98,116,118,101,90 M,13,24,1,95,89,5,36,30,66,108,3,99,92,106,21 M,13,3,52,43,47,37,39,33,109,74,41,53,40,84,96 M,13,98,67,104,74,81,70,98,35,70,105,95,14 M,13,26,95,61,71,2,39,83,111,28,118,14,87,45,36 M,13,14,35 M,14,26,69,56,31,13,92,70,55,51,15,50,96,65,15 M,14,30,86,118,55,43,19,1,7,91,55,85,8,44,11 M,14,73,94,109,17,102,17,47,100,86,30,92,31,21,96 M,14,57,68,98,62,112,62,99,110,92,60,99,94,38,112 M,14,17,46,14,23,92,60,21,45,86,8 M,15,50,12,3,110,56,20,46,50 E,96 ////// Basic chart automatically generated by GSC2FIND ver 1.4 SS UMI Whilst we continue to welcome observations of this star, we have decided to drop it from the formal list of recurrent objects in view of the frequent outbursts observed recently.
