Is there any object at 05 38 54.44 -06 12 22.4 (J2000.0)?
GSC 04779-00669 with mag. 11.75 P at Epoch 1986.132 and flagged as a
non-stellar object is present in GSC.
However, since Tycho-2 recorded it (TYC 4779-669-1) I think it might be
real:
Vt mag 12.57
Bt mag 12.14
Anomalous blue colors but typical for Tycho-2 at these faint magnitudes.
I couldn't find the object in any DSS image.
It is also in USNO-B1.0 as USNO-B1.0 0837-0061881:
B1 mag 11.94
R1 mag 12.76
R2 mag 12.78
I mag 12.99
When detected the "object" always seems to be blue...
I am not experienced in the CV field so I leave this question up to you. Is
there a chance for it to be a CV in outburst?
Cheers,
Sebastian.
