Abstract (from CDS):

We present high-quality BVRI CCD photometry of the variable star V716 Monocerotis (=NSV 03775). We confirm it to be an RR Lyrae star of variability type ab (i.e., a fundamental-mode pulsator) and determine its metallicity ([Fe/H]=-1.33±0.25), luminosity (MV=0.80±0.06), and foreground reddening [E(B-V)=0.05-0.17] from the Fourier components of its light curve. These parameters indicate a distance of 4.1±0.3 kpc, placing V716 Mon near the plane of the Galaxy well outside the solar circle.
