Yes, of course, and that's why I've been surprised by 30-min map of CT Lac with bright star 6.3m, which was V365. It's not a problem, maybe I'm just not experienced obsever.

Normally, variable stars are not used as comparison stars. Could you please describe the circumstances under which V365 Lac was used?
Yes, of course, and that's why I've been surprised by 30-min map of CT Lac with bright star 6.3m, which was V365. It's not a problem, maybe I'm just not experienced obsever.
Agreed, I suspect that this is a mistake since V365 Lac should not be included in a list of potential comparison stars.
