        NEW U GEM - TYPE VARIABLE S 7854 CYG

      1855.0      19h57m.7 + 56deg33'
      1900.0      19 58.7  + 56   40

    This relatively bright U Gem-star has been found on plates
taken with the Astrograph 400/1600 mm. The discovery maximum
(1962 Oct 1-10) is observed as follows:

     243 7935.41   [ 17m.8      5 plates
         7936.37   [ 17.7       5   "

         7960.43   [ 17.9       4   "

     Obviously the variable belongs to the subtype with long intervals 
represented by UV Per. An investigation by Mr. R. Tschaepe on
all plates available for the region yielded only two more maxima; 1931
Nov. 9 and 1952 May 17. On Palomar Mt. Chart the variable is
distinctly blue in minimum (~18m). Details and chart will be given in
Mitteilungen uber veranderliche Sterne.
