[vsnet-alert 13344] Re: OT J210950.5+134840 = Itagaki transient

[walcom77]

Following the posting on the Central Bureau's Transient Object
Confirmation Page about the transient in Peg we performed some
follow-up of this object remotely through a 0.25-m, f/3,4 reflector +
CCD, from GRAS Observatory (near Mayhill, NM).

On our images taken on May 25.3, 2011 we can confirm  the presence of
an optical counterpart with unfiltered CCD magnitude about 11.0
(USNO-B1.0 Catalogue reference stars) at coordinates:

R.A. = 21 09 50.46, Decl.= +13 48 39.6

(equinox 2000.0; USNO-B1.0 catalogue reference stars).

According to VIZIER there is a 18.82 R2 magnitude star at 0.0099
arcmin from the transient position (USNO- B1.0 1038-0586809).

Our confirming image of this transient and an animation showing a
comparison between our image and the archive POSS2/UKSTU plate (R
Filter - 1991):
