I must be missing something; I looked through arXiv:1111.4286 and saw no
reference to V1454 Cyg. However, Bruce Sumner strongly suggested a counterpart
in 2000, based on my images:
ftp://ftp.aavso.org/public/calib/sumner/v1454cyg.seq
that is the likely CV. The coordinates are slightly different than those in
VSX. As you say, however, getting accurate astrometry this time around will
certainly settle the issue.
