[vsnet-alert 15973] Re: Next HST observations: HS2214+2845 (V513 Peg) & OT J213806.6+261957

[Arto Oksanen]

Hi Brian,

The SE star? Are you sure?  I have been measuring the NW star with 5 arc
sec radius aperture. The NW star outbursted, not the SE star of the close
pair.

This is the correct identification:
