             PHOTOELECTRIC OBSERVATIONS OF omicron And

  Recently there is a growing interest in Be stars (Harmanec, 1983) and
special attention has been paid to o And. Since the puzzle of its light 
variation is not yet solved, any observations unpublished until now may help.
Therefore the photoelectric observations obtained by the 60 cm telescope at
Konkoly Observatory are given in this note.
  The observations (Table I) are corrected for atmospheric extinction and
transformed to the standard BV system. 2 And = HR 8766 was used as comparison
star (V = 5.10, B-V = +0.09, Hoffleit, 1982) but no check has been made on
its constancy.

   The data may represent an extension of H. Schmidt's (1959) observations
and confirm the short term variability of the star.
