I would like  to alert the variable star network to the discovery of a 
possible nova in lupus at  approx

The star appears at mag 10.2 photographic, on 2 films taken on August 4.73UT

No object is present on film taken on july 5.85UT down to 11.7pg.
No previous variable stars are reported at this near position.
