[Seiichiro Kiyota]

I confirmed the presence of new object that is not exit in DSS image
using GRAS telescopes (30cm and 25cm) in New Mexico, USA.

Coordinates based on GSC1.1 is
17h33m29.62s
-27d01'14.80"


photometric result is

date time in UT mag.
20080602 08:14 14.17B
20080602 08:12 12.72V
20080602 08:10 12.51Rc
20080602 08:15 10.22Ic

Due to lack of good comparison star near the object, mag. is very tentative.
