[vsnet-chat 7450] Nova Sgr 2009 No.2 and 22P/Kopff

[Seiichi Yoshida]

Dear colleagues,

V5582 Sgr = Nova Sgr 2009 No.2, discovered by G. Sun and X. Gao, was
bright as 11.5 mag already on Feb. 23 (cf. IAUC 9049). 

I found that a bright comet 22P/Kopff was near by the position around
that time.

2009 Feb. 27  12h UT  0.916 deg ( 55.0 arcmin)
  22P/Kopff			17h45m.1  -19o08'  12.0 mag
  Nova Sgr 2009 No.2		17h45m.1  -20o03'  11.5 mag

Best regards,
