MN Sge

[SilverAstro]

This is odd,
 I came across this one,  MN Sge, while following a webtrail via C-munipak and muniwin and the cluster Palomar10 (aka GCl 111 ? )

so I went to AAVSO where it is listed as type M mag7.8 - 12.6 but found no plot for it in lcg  and only one obs at less than 12.5 in Aug'16 

anyone familiar with this variable, at 7.8 it is very surprising not to find a curve for it !?

Not familiar with this star. Seems to be one of the many poorly known stars out there. SIMBAD has some data though: MN Sge at SIMBAD. I would not attach too much value to the given magnitude range i VSX. May be it is just approximate.

Thanks for looking.  Yes you are right, instead of saying "at 7.8 it is very surprising",  I should have said " if it really does get as bright as ",  but either way it is a bit of a surprise
