Hi John,

I'm currently coming near to the end of doing 3hrs of time series on this
object (30sec in V). I hope to work out the comp and post results tomorrow.

Cheers,
Chris

Apparently it's late in the season for this object, but anyone wanting to
follow it might find it interesting.

And just in case of any misunderstandings, you don't have mention me if you
note it, you don't have to credit me with anything, just go out and enjoy
the damn thing.  It'd be nice to know if it is what appears to be, is all.
Having said that, I'll probably personally and privately refer to it as Nova
Cen 2008 No. 2 until something comes along to show that's wrong.

Potential missed novae candidates are rife in archival data, very few turn
out to be real, a lot of sidetracking, process of elimination stuff, and
some cul-de-sac investigations, have to be gone through before bothering to
trouble folk with it.  Weigh the above information as you will before
deciding to invest precious photon collecting time upon it.

Cheers

John
