[vsnet-alert 9766] Re: Possible nova outburst

[Marcin Sokolowski]

Dear Arne,

Our telescope is a wide field camera and we are limited by the pixel 
angular size of 36 arcsec. So we cannot improve coordinates significantly.
We will provide information and sky images for this object on our web page 
as soon as possible :

 	http://grb.fuw.edu.pl/

And we will put coordinates according to our best knowladge there

Best Regards,
Marcin Sokolowski for "Pi of the Sky" team
