Hi Paul,Well if you look for TYC 1643 1764 or A2 1050 17303878, this will drop you right onto V Sge. Instead of looking for V Sge in your software, look for the 82 star (the magnitude without the decimal point). This should be easy if you go to the coordinates of V Sge in Skymap. You can then compare the AAVSO chart with your Skymap chart.I’ve just drawn up a 3 degree chart using the AAVSO software, which shows a 57 star as well. You can get it here…http://www.garypoyner.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/VSge_wide.gifYou should be able to ID the field easier using this.Gary
