Abstract
The brightest individual objects in extragalactic nebulae are the Hubble-Sandage variables. They were first investigated by Hubble and Sandage (1953). Observations by Tamman and Sandage (1968) and Rosino and Bianchini (1973) followed. The main characteristics are high luminosity (L/L⊙ ≈ 105), blue color indices, F type spectra and irregular variability.
