       A PHOTOELECTRIC STUDY OF BETA PEGASI


    Photoelectric V observations were made in 29 nights from
June to February 1968/69 as tabulated subsequently. In October a minimum 
was registered lying remarkably outside the photoelectric V
range as given in the remarks to the 1969 edition of the General Catalogue 
of Variable Stars (2.42 - 2.56, page 579):

    Due to the smallness of the instrument (4 1/2 inch refractor) the
probable error is relatively large, near 0.03 magnitude. The comparison 
star was Eta Pegasi, V = 2.95.
