V723 Cas was captured in a 180 sec. clear CCD exposure with GRAS-004 at m = 15.0 VC at 03:34:42 UTC on 29 November 2008 (JD 2454799.649097).  Please confirm.  Kevin B. Paxson (AAVSO PKV)"

Couldn't you just kinda privately tell the guy that's pretty much standard?  Instead of potentially causing embarrassment?  Your own signed vsnet-recents on this thing say lower decimals fifteenth mags visual is pretty normal and has been for a long time, mostly logged from innumerable obs from Gary P.  This somewhat to very slow nova's sat around the new quiescence some while.

And folk make out I'm rude.  I dunno.

Just in case :- < 18.0 from the catalogues is pre-outburst quiescence.
