119.67551 16.00731 galactic Cep Second-epoch detections are separated by 4.4" and 0.5 pix
The object was found in VSX
15" Gaia DR3 2281876614961163648
Type: E
# Max. Min./Amp. JD0 Period
19.120 G 19.670 G 0.351232000000
ATTENTION: measured mag 14.70 is 4.4 mag brighter than the VSX record maximum brightness 19.12 - possible unusual activity of a known variable! (Alternatively, this may be a new object that coincides with the known variable's position just by chance.)
The object was not found in astcheck.

This value should be representative of the faintest stars clearly visible in the image. The brighter of the limiting magnitude estimates for the two second-epoch images is reported here. The second estimate is the 80th percentile of the magnitude distribution of stars detected on all four images.

This value should be representative of the faintest stars clearly visible in the image. The brighter of the limiting magnitude estimates for the two second-epoch images is reported here. The second estimate is the 80th percentile of the magnitude distribution of stars detected on all four images. This value is representative of the faintest object that may enter the candidate transients list. The hard cut-off for the candidate transients is 15.5 mag.
