    Further photographic UBV magnitudes have been measured for this
peculiar, variable emission-line F supergiant on plates taken by Dr.
B. Pettersson with the Uppsala Southern Station Schmidt telescope at
Siding Spring Observatory, Australia. The results are, with an 
estimated error of +- 0.1 mag.:


    Date                        V      B     U
    17 Nov. 1984               9.3   10.2   11.0
    20 Dec. 1984               9.1    9.8   10.6
    28 Dec. 1984               9.1    9.9   10.7


    These results support the earlier finding (Welin 1981) that the
  colours of the star are not directly related to its brightness.
