[vsnet-alert 14365] Re: Magnitude 9 nova in Centarus?

[Josch Hambsch]

Hi,

as there seem to be no sequence of the AAVSO available, I tried to use the 
photometry tool of MAXIM. Attached is the image based on a time series of 
the field over about 4h30.
(UT  2h30-7h) on March, 24. I used TYC 8675 0599 as comp star Its mag is 
9.528 (based on GUIDE8).
So the magnitude in V band of the nova is around 9.37 mag at the beginning 
dropping about 0.08 mag towards the end of the run.



Regards,
Groeten,
Grüße,

Josch

Hi All

We just updated our blog with info and our confirmation image of the
possible new nova in Cen.
