Hola Everyone -

There is a possible nova at (2000) 11h 43.2m -58d 03'; its approximate
magnitude is 8.2.  It appears on two photos taken near Jan 23.354 UT
with Kodak TP film, an orange filter and an 85mm lens.  Nothing brighter
than magnitude 11.5 was seen at this position on Jan 15.36.  Nothing seen

More mags and spectra needed !

All the best,   Bill Liller
