We can confirm the presence of a relatively bright counterpart at coordinates:

R.A. = 17h33m29s.62, Decl. = -27o 01'14".5 (equinox 2000.0; UCAC-2
catalogue reference stars).

Our multicolor photometry provides the following values: 2008, Jun.
2.23, B= +13.9, V= +12.8, R= +11.4 (accuracy +/- 0.1 magnitudes in
each color).
