Description:
    The Table2 summarizes the photographic magnitudes obtained over 24
    years at the Skalnate Pleso (1979-1993) and Asiago (1969-1988)
    observatories for 17 variable stars of different types: Miras (7),
    Semi-regular (4), Cepheids (3), RR Lyr (2), Eclipsing binary (1).
    The cross-reference between star No., designation according to Margoni
    and Stagni (1984A&AS...56...87M) and catalogue one (provided it has
    already been adopted for a given star) according to the GCVS (See Cat.
    <II/214>) and IBVS (Kholopov al., 1987, See Cat. <II/195>) is given in
    Table3 as well as the equatorial coordinates for the epoch 1950.0 for
    each star, which is compatible with the GCVS. In this table are shown
    the basic characteristics of the observational material for each star:
    the number of data points and interval of magnitudes obtained at the
    Asiago Observatory (A) and Skalnate Pleso Observatory (SP) respectively.
