[vsnet-alert 11244] Re: Possible nova in Centaurus ASAS 133116-6357.6

[walcom77]

Following the alert note posted today by Grzegorz Pojmanski in the
vsnet-alert newsgroup about a possible nova in Cen, on 2009 May. 13.57
we performed some follow-up of this object remotely through a 0.25-m,
f/6 Ritchey-Chretien + CCD, from the RAS Observatory (Moorook,
Australia).

We can confirm the presence of an optical counterpart with unfiltered
CCD magnitude about 8.6 (UCAC-2 Catalogue reference stars) at
coordinates:

R.A. = 13h31m15.77s, Decl. = -63o57'38".6 (equinox 2000.0; UCAC-2
catalogue reference stars).
