Abstract:
    We have obtained extensive photometry of the suspected cataclysmic
    variable CG Muscae, and find that it is in fact an RR Lyrae star. We
    measure its light curve parameters and derive physical parameters
    including metal abundance, reddening, and distance. We also have
    discovered three new variables in the nearby field. We suspect that
    two are contact binary stars, while the third is too faint to
    determine its variability type with certainty. (c)Astronomical Society
