[vsnet-alert 26005] Re: ASASSN-21lk: new transient (mag. 14.4) in Scorpius

[FIDRICH Róbert fidusz@gmail.com via vsnet-alert]

Dear Friends,

I managed to catch ASASSN-21lk with a 135mm Samyang telephoto lens - 
remotely from Chile (iTelescope.net).

It was was around 13.0TG on June 23.2334UT and 11.6TR on June 23.2350UT. 
Reddish color. Probably a galactic nova.
