Proposal	Hello Having another proposal here. This star is a possible variable star. I don't want to publish anything yet, but based on my observations, shows some variability. Can i get some observations on it for about 6 hours in V filter? The observations will then be combined with Galati Observatory data for analysis and reported to the VSX. The observations need the highest possible precision.

The TAC would like more information on why this star is suspected to be variable. Why 6 hours of observations? What is the suspected amplitude of variability?

Hi.

The suspected amplitude is around 0.2 suspected from the Hipparcos data and Galati Observatory quick analisis. I'd like to analyse it further with our data and data from you. I asked 6 hours randomly as i can't find any period with the current data, but there's needed as much time as possible.

The TAC would like to see more certainty in the amplitude and potential period before it can allocate telescope time.
