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 sets of 8 stars and compare them against each other. After a while I found these two stars that have a different pattern compare to the other 6 stars that I use as reference stars.

I have not find out which stars these are yet.
Update:
With help from Thomas K and Hans Bengtsson I now know that the T1 star is ASAS J192437+4334.4 (KIC 7820467).
Hans Bengtsson also found that the star T5 is an earlier not known variable KIC 7888888, but needs follow up analyzes. See below.

Comment : At bottom the 6 ref stars, they are offset along the Y-axis. Above, the yellow and blue line are the two stars that have a different pattern compare to the reference stars.

Update:
With a lot of help from Hans Bengtsson the T5 star (yellow line) is now reported as a new variable:

Comment : Now when I gained more experience I have done the analyze of target T1 and T5 once again. More carefully selected reference stars and more of them. At the same time I got 6 more interesting stars to analyze.

Comment : At top the T1 and T5 data, looks almost the same as earlier, good, because then I know it's not that very critical which reference star I use. Among the 20 stars I picked up I have 6 new candidates. I need to know at what brightness I shall limit my objects, they oversaturate at about 200'000 electrons / second. Too weak stars and it will be noise and also more difficult to get some data to compare with.

By looking at the error bars I see that object T7 has big error bars. Then looking at the signal of T7 I see that it has 40'000 electrons integrated in one second (the unit is electrons / second). I shall not use that weak stars as reference or maybe not as interesting object either. At least not now when I'm in the learning process.
