Remarks:
Presented are the details for seven Mira variables found from the Scutum MACHO Galactic Bulge field 301 epoch photometry as publicly served via their new Virtual Observatory interface (Smillie 2009) and as downloaded and sourced via TOPCAT.
Each object was checked against the Strasbourg CDS Vizier service for pre-existence as a Mira in variability catalogues.
The astrometric positions were derived from the Carlsberg Meridian Catalog 14 (CMC14 2006).
