GCVS
General Catalogue of Variable
Stars
See note
Note: the variable stars in the GCVS catalogue are identified by one or two letters
and the name of the constellation, e.g. R Leo or UV Cet. The letters are assigned
according to certain rules, which allow 334 identifiers in each constellation. When
all these identifiers are assigned in a constellation, the star is identified with a
letter V followed by a number starting from 335; thus V335 Ori is the 335th
variable star found in Orion. When the GCVS catalogue is selected in the menu,
you have to choose between letter and number. letter must be selected if
the catalogue identifier is of the first kind (e.g.: R Leo); number must be selected
if the catalogue identifier is of the second kind (e.g.: V335 Ori).
If you have chosen letter, select the letter(s) and the constellation using the +/44
