Description:
    In a 1984 publication, "A search for new variable stars in the Milky
    Way field at l=780°, b=-60°", R. Margoni and R. Stagni give
    finding charts, light curves, and elements for 99 new variable stars.
    A follow-up paper (Margoni et al., 1989A&AS...81..393M) contains
    additional observations for the same stars. About three-quarters of
    these are now named variables. I have gone through this list to
    determine precise positions for all the stars, and have made
    identifications with the IRAS and GSC catalogues.
