[vsnet-alert 15792] Possible Nova in Sco - PNV J17335943-3606216

[walcom77]

Following the posting on the Central Bureau's Transient Object
Confirmation Page about a possible Nova in Sco (TOCP Designation: PNV
J17335943-3606216) we performed some follow-up of this object remotely
through the 0.50-m f/6.8 astrograph + CCD + f/4.5 focal reducer of
ITelescope network (MPC Code  Q62 - Siding Spring, AU).

On our images taken on June 03.7, 2013 we can confirm the presence of
an optical counterpart with unfiltered CCD magnitude 11.5 at
coordinates:

R.A. = 17 33 59.44, Decl.= -36 06 20.7

(equinox 2000.0; UCAC-3 catalogue reference stars).
