An examination of Plate B4354 on November 25, 1896. Confirms the magnitude of RJ Sagittarius as derived on Sept 11, 1890.

Plate B4354
c 5 v
v 1 d

HM Paul in the Astronomical Journal 16 p 84 says that the close companion must have been observed on the H.C.O. plate of Oct. 14, 1896. This photograph shows the variable and also the companion which is North & following. The variable is slightly brighter than the companion which is the comparison star "d." The date of Plate B4354 is in error. It should be October 7, 1889.
