ADC_Keywords: Clusters, globular ; Stars, variable ; Positional data Abstract: Equatorial coordinates have been determined for 61 variables in the northern globular cluster M 53 and for 12 variables in the southern globular cluster NGC 2808 with accuracy sufficient for reliable identifications. A number of errors have been revealed in publications on variable starts in M 53.
