Subject: Nova Sgr 2005 No.2 (Re: Possible Nova (Liller))

> At July 4.049 UT on two red photos (85mm lens + TP film + deep
> orange filter), there appears a stellar image of red magnitude
> approximately 8.0.  Its position (2000) is 18h 17.9m -30d 27'.  

  IAUC 8559 informed the precise position (by Mt. John Observatory)
as: 
	R.A. = 18:17:50.77
	Decl.=-30:26:31.2 (J2000.0).

  Liller's spectrum taken on July 5.009 shows a strong H_alpha
emission, whose FWHM is about 1000 km/s.  It is indeed a classical
nova.
