Selected List of Bright Variable Stars
For Small Southern Telescopes

The following is a brief listing of bright southern variable stars that are either bright or interesting variable stars. Few are broad examples of their classes, and the majority of them are visible at one time or the other to the naked-eye. [Note : I have a more larger definitive list, which I will add when my time permits. (Sept. 2012. AJ.)
