    Variable Star Baseline, Field RX-4

    Type: Variable Star Location: Northern hemisphere network node Magnitude: 9.2 – 10.1 Date: 2023-06-30 Status: Monitoring Observer: T. Bergstrom

    This field has been imaged on a rough two-week cadence since mid-2023, tracking one candidate variable star against several stable reference stars in the same frame to establish a reliable brightness baseline before we commit more observing time to it.

    Early data suggests a period somewhere between 11 and 13 days, though we don’t have enough clean cycles yet to state that with confidence — this entry will stay in Monitoring status until we do.
