Abstract

The Cousin R and I band photometric observations of ~ 13' × 13' field in the direction of M31 galaxy have been carried out during 1999-2001 to search for microlensing events using pixel technique. Here we report a microlensing-like event, of which preliminary analysis indicates that it is a long duration (t1/2 ~ 66 days) event.
