On April 8, 2005, an optical afterglow of the GRB 050408 was discovered with the SAO's telescopes (the 1-meter telescope Zeiss and 6-meter telescope BTA) within the framework of a joint BTA request (SAO RAS + IAA CSIC, Granada, Spain) on optical identification of gamma-ray bursts. We first detected a variable object only by our own data in the localization error-box reported by the space observatory HETE and then it was confirmed by our observations in SAO. ...

The long-term behavior of J1743-0429 shows that it is a probable magnetic cataclysmic variable (polar), with a large difference between its low and high states. The orbital period obtained from our observations is 0 0866, or 2 08, close to the lower boundary of the period gap of cataclysmic variables. ... Fig. ...

... An overall criterion for standard-star selection is the accuracy needed in the final results: if you need more accuracy, you will need more standard stars. ... While it is possible to get a rough estimate of the extinction by observing different standard stars at high and low airmasses, the relatively large conformity errors in most photometric systems, together with the low accuracy of some standards, make this method very inefficient (see Young [ 10 ], p.178). ...
