Scientific paper

We report on CCD photometry of the possible brightest microquasar MCQC J162847-4152 (ATEL #80). This object is coincident with the hard X-ray spectrum ROSAT source 1RXS J162848.1-415241 (ATEL #80), is a prominent radio transient (IAUC 8008, 8275) and exhibits a K5 spectrum star with a strong and rapidly variable H-alpha emission (ATEL #80). Seventy five CCD observations made between 2003 June-October using the 1.3m CTIO telescope with ANDICAM showed a 4.835 +/- 0.001 d periodicity with amplitude 0.30 mag in V-band.
