     By photoelectric observations with the 60 cm
reflector the star BD +60.2321 (= AGK_2 +60.1430 = HD 208960
(G0)) formerly suspected to be variable by WACHMANN 
(unpublished) turned out to be a new bright variable of Delta
Cephei type. The derived amplitude is 0.6m in B and 0.5m in V,
the maximum brightness being 8.3m and 7.4m in B and V 
respectively.
