Description
We report on optical photometry and spectroscopy of the black hole X-ray transient Swift J1910.2-0546/MAXI J1910-057 (Krimm at al. ATel #4139, Usui et al. ATel #4140). R-band photometry (time resolution 27s) over an interval of 3.1 hr was obtained using ALFOSC on the 2.5m Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) on the night of 21 July 2012. The light curve is dominated by flickering superimposed on a smooth, approximately sinusoidal variability of amplitude ~0.02 mags and ~4 hr time scale.

Binary Stars
The study of binary stars is essential to stellar astrophysics. A large number of stars form and evolve within binary systems. Therefore, their study is fundamental to understand stellar and galactic evolution. Particularly relevant is that binary systems are still the best source of precise stellar mass and radius measurements. Research lines
