[vsnet-alert 15970] Re: Next HST observations: HS2214+2845 (V513 Peg) & OT J213806.6+261957

[Brian Skiff]

     For what it's worth, comparison of POSS-I plate-scans
with recent images clearly show that the cv has modest
proper motion, and is presently the southeastern of the
optical pair.  The SDSS DR9 astrometry indicates a 
separation of 2".5 at epoch 2009.8, which is increasing.
