This is a bright target but the depth is small (7 mmag). It's important scientifically partly due to the long period (6.9 days)

Basic data

    RA = 16:15:50.4, DE = +10:01:57,  Season = May 30
    
V = 9.45
    HJDo = 5335.9205 (7.4) and P = 6.871815 (45) days (as listed in Schneider's Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia, HJDo corrected from earlier value)
    Depth =  7.2 ± 0.3 mmag
    Length = 4.66
± 0.05 hr
    Fp = 0.??
± 0.??, F2 = 0.?? ± 0.??
    b = 0.27 ± 0.14
