[vsnet-alert 11644] NOVA SCUTI 2009

[walcom77]

Following the posting on the Central Bureau's unconfirmed-objects
webpage about a possible nova in Scuti, on 2009 November 09.08 we
performed some follow-up of this object through a 0.25-m, f/3,4
reflector + CCD, from GRAS Observatory (near Mayhill, NM).

We can confirm the presence of an optical counterpart with unfiltered
CCD magnitude about 8.5 (UCAC-2 Catalogue reference stars) at
coordinates:

R.A. = 18 43 45.57, Decl.= -07 36 42.0

(equinox 2000.0; UCAC-2 catalogue reference stars).
