The list below shows improved coordinates for variable stars reported by Graham in the Sculptor group galaxy NGC 300. I used the finder charts published with the paper to identify the stars. Nearly all were at the very limits of the usual plate-scans and astrometric catalogues, but all were at least visible on the digital images if not present in the star catalogues. In general Graham's positions are several arcsec in error mostly in RA, which might make the stars difficult to recover. Star 26 has a substantial typo in RA that has not been previously noticed. Star 34 (a quasar) had a +1m RA error, which has been corrected in the past; it is still out by a few arcsec, resulting in some IDs in both NED and SIMBAD. Where the remarks show 'gcvs okay', this means there is no astrometric position (or it is uncertain or equivocal) and I have verified that the GCVS position is correct at a 1"-2" level---and copy it in the table. Where positions come from the Edinburgh SuperCOSMOS catalogue, it is the average of up to four available plate measurements. V and B-V are simply Graham's mean values (his Table V), which almost certainly have been superceded (cf. 1992ApJ...396...80F), but should be okay as placeholders in the SIMBAD headers if no other is shown. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Coordinates for Graham variables in NGC 300 version: 31 Jul 2004 source: 1984AJ.....89.1332G GRAHAM J.A.
