A determination of the period of the star NSV12716

Introduction:
David Conner (Melton and District Astronomical Society, England) and Josef Kalek
(Litomyl, Czech Republic) have collaborated with finding a period of the star
NSV12716. Josef Kalek is interested in variable stars and David Conner helps him
with the analysis.
Report:
To determine the period of the NSV12716 were used images taken by David Conner
with The Bradford Robotic Telescope Cluster Camera (Tenerife) between 2012 July
13 and 2014 December 24.
Two sets of images were transformed, combined and processed together.
The processing is shown in attachment NSV12716 combined results:
1) The starfield with the star NSV12716 in the Fig. 1.
2) The photometry made by Josef Kalek in Muniwin the L-C
in the Fig. 2 and by David Conner in AIP4WIN - the L-C in the Fig. 3, 4.
3) The first estimating of the period of the star NSV12716 provided by Josef
Kalek in Muniwin as a double of the diference between Min - JD
2456200.361390 and Max - JD 2456255.369340 it means 2 x 55 = 110
days.
4) The checking of the estimated period, finding of the period d = 105,9759
days in Peranso in the Fig. 5 and ploting of the P-C of the star NSV12716 in the Fig. 6 all made by David Conner.
Conclusion:
The estimated value 110 is in the good relation to the found value 105,9759.
We suggest to determine the period of the star NSV12716 to the value = 106 days.
