Variable Star Discoveries

On this page are my suspected variable star discoveries. Following AAVSO preference, each star is listed by its GSC name, unless it doesn't have one, in which case a GSC2.3 name is shown. On the left are finder charts (courtesy of the Aladdin Sky Atlas), and on the right are phased plots and in some cases 3D models of what the system might look like. Below each plot is some information about each star, as well as a link to the AAVSO page concerning the star. The stars are listed in order of increasing right ascension. If you've got the equipment and the time, additional observations of any of these objects can be submitted to the AAVSO.
