GSC 03362-01863
My fifth discovery, an SR type variable in Auriga.
First light curve of GSC 03362-01863 and a phase plot suggesting a possible period of approximately 68 days. Photometry from images taken with The Bradford Robotic Telescope Cluster Camera (Tenerife) between 2013 October 20 and 2015 February 16.
AAVSO VSX entry 2015 February 18.

A number of further observations were obtained; 10 with the Bradford Robotic Telescope Galaxy Camera between 2015 September 12 and 2016 January 13, and 23 images with the Open University COAST telescope between 2018 December 27 and 2019 August 29. All images were taken using a Johnson V filter. The resulting light curve is below;
Results from the two sets of observations are below, the Bradford Robotic Telescope results first followed by the COAST results.
The best fit period for these observations is 77.3 days, giving the following phase diagram.
A longer run of observations would be useful to determine the light curve and period more rigorously, but the erratic functioning and availability of the two telescopes has precluded this to date.
