VARIABLE STAR IN CEPHEUS
     H. Mikuz, Crni Vrh Observatory, reports that a new star-like variable
object (R = 16.2 +/- 0.1) was discovered by B. Mikuz on four filtered CCD
images (limiting mag 18.5) taken during Aug. 22.905-22.933 UT in the course
of the PIKA project at the Crni Vrh Observatory, using the 0.60-m f/3.3
Cichocki telescope.  The new object is located at R.A. = 21h05m12s.29, Decl.
= +69d12'55".3 (equinox 2000.0).  Nothing is visible at this position on
PIKA archival images taken on 2004 Nov. 27 (limiting mag 17.0) and 2006
Sept. 3 (limiting mag 18.7) or on several Palomar Sky Survey and 2MASS
images from the Aladin database.  Further investigation of the Simbad and
VizieR databases shows no candidate object at this position.  Additional
photometry by B. Mikuz:  Aug. 26.865, R = 16.5 +/- 0.1; Aug. 29.837, R =
16.8 +/- 0.1.
