Hola Everyone -

There seems to be a nova at 13h16m30s -67d37.0' (2000).  

A pair of photos taken on Sept 28, 2008, at 23:57 UT (TechPan + orange
filter with 85mm lens) shows a star there at approximate magnitude 8.6. 
Nothing was seen brighter than magnitude 11.5 at that position on Sept 15
at 0:33 UT or at any earlier time in my survey.

Needed: Confirmation, spectra, precise position.        

All the best to all,    Bill Liller
