Comment : Here I with differential photometry looking for stars that just have small amounts of variation relative there neighbor stars. Just by random pick up 8 stars and compare them against each other. Here is a star that have a different pattern compare to the other 7 stars that I use as reference stars. The signal is just above the noise level.

I have not find out which stars this is yet.
With help from Hans at Astronet forum the star now is identified as KIC 8230523

Comment : This is the irregularly pattern this star shows. None of the other 7 stars show this pattern, otherwise I had thought it to be an instrumental error.
