Dear colleagues,

during observations of TrES-1 transit on 4/5 September 2004 I noticed
that a star located at 19:04:29.2 +36:39:49 (J2000, ~15.5 mag) is
variable. The variability was confirmed by Pertti Pääkkönen (Finland)
and Tonny Vanmunster (Belgium). The shape of the light curve (not full
phase coverage, though) suggests a W UMa type variable star.
   Further information on this star can be located at
http://var.astro.cz/pejcha/newvar/ under identification "Pej 025".

As the TrES-1 observing window is now moving to America, I would be
happy to receive any data you get on this star. Thanks.

Best regards,

Ondrej Pejcha
