Abstract

Long-term and short-term variations, possibly periodic were observed in the planetary nebula, V3811 Sgr. Extensive observations of the RR Lyrae-type star, V509 SGR, and the two long-period variables, GP Sgr and V510 Sgr, indicated only minor revisions in period. A close companion to GO Sgr shows evidence of short-term variation although no periodicity has been established.
