Hi,
I can't find Barnard's variable in M3 (http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-id?Ident=NAME+Barnard+Variable+in…).
There is nothing to find (that fits the description) very close to position 13 42 11.734 +28 22 13.71 in VSX
What am I missing?
thx,

Hi Bruno,
This is because we don't systematically include globular cluster variables in VSX.
In the past the decision was made because their positions weren't accurate enough and those variables would cluster any chart if added altogether.
Eventually we will likely include them. As for now, we are adding them individually if there is interest in study any of them.
I have added this one to VSX:

Thx!! Lot's of variables in M3, but this one is pretty bright.

Hi
Eight years ago, a request was made to include V154 in VSX, or at least somewhere in AAVSO.
As of 9/25/23, this historically-important variable is still not included within VSX. It is included in a chart accessible from VSP so I presume I can eventually get to observe it. I'm just bit surprised the AAVSO doesn't include Barnard's Variable (first variable discovered in a Globular), with its classification and key data information, in its primary variable star database.

Hi Gary,
the star was added to VSX in 2015 after the original post.
You have the link in this same thread with the relevent explanations.
Here it goes again:

The star has been named V0365 CVn by the GCVS Team in 2020.
