Discovery of the variable stars in Terzan 8:

V1-2 = Montegriffo's #1350 and #117 
    Montegriffo et al. (1998) announced 5 candidate variables: 117, 688,
    1350, 1582 and 2784.  They labelled them on an ID chart and published 
    pixel positions (X,Y).
    Salinas et al. (2005) confirmed the variablility of #1350 and #117
    and assigned the numbers V1 and 2. They also published x,y 
    coordinates and a finding chart. However, the x,y coordinates they 
    listed for V1 and V2 do not match the postions labelled on their 
    chart. They are reversed. The numbering system used in ths catalogue 
    corresponds to the positions on their chart.

    Montegriffo's candidate variable #2784 appears to be just outside
    the field of the finding chart of Salinas et al. Therefore it should
    still be considered a candidate variable. The other two candidates 
    (#688 and #1582) are considered to be non-variable because Salinas
    et al. (2005) did not detect any variability.
