             PHOTOELECTRIC OBSERVATION
                   OF HD 116994



        On April 27-28, 1966, photoelectric observation (UBV) of
HD 116994 (A5)= DM -50deg 7794 was made at Cerro Tololo Inter-American 
Observatory, using the 16-inch reflecting telescope. From the
estimates of recorded readings, it is shown to be a variable. Its 
variation of light in blue (B) is shown in the accompanied figure, where
Delta m = m_var - m_comp. The comparison star observed was HD 118014
(A0) = DM -52deg 7601. No correction was made here for differential
extinction. The period is estimated to be 0.104day. This star is most
likely belonging to the group of dwarf cepheids. Detailed reduction and
analysis of the observed data are being carried out.
