            AN IMPROVED PERIOD OF V 387 Cyg

V 387 Cyg = 175.1935 was discovered by O. Morgenroth (Astr.
Nachr. Bd. 255, Nr. 6119, 1935), who classified it as an eclipsing
binary (11.5m-13.0m ph).
   V. P. Tsesevich (Isv. astr. obs. Odessa, Tom 4.1) studied the
star and found that the star is of Algol-type with the elements:

   (A) Min.(hel.) = JD 2427985.461+0.640594d E   (EA).

   I examined the star on Sky-patrol-plates of the Bruno-H.-
Burgel Observatory Hartha (JD 2438325-42775) and visually. So
I found the following minima:

Min (hel.)              Epoch    O-C_A     O-C_B
JD 244...

1988.271        ph    + 21859   +0d066    +0d013
2298.317        ph      22343   +0.064    +0.011
2631.4177       v       22863   +0.0561   +0.002
2638.4628       v       22874   +0.0546  +-0.000

   Using the minima published before (Tsesevich, V.P., Isv.
astr. Obs. Odessa, Tom 4.1 and Peter, H., BBSAG Bull. 29).
   I found improved elements:

   (B) Min.(hel.) = JD 2427985.461+0.6405964d E  (EA).

   Further particulars will be published in "Mitteilungen
der Bruno-H.-Burgel-Sternwarte Hartha".

          Correction to I.B.V.S. No. 1163

The minimum of TX Her is erroneously given. It should be
read :

 Min.hel. 2442561.498; O-C (I)= -0.005d; O-C (II)= +0.004d
