Uncertain identification. Photometry (V= 19.7; V-J= 7.8) is for
the red star IPHAS J190740.03+102945.5 (g-r= 2.9; J-K= 2.45; BP-RP= 7.02).
The GCVS (version Nov. 2020) and the Downes catalogue identify
the nova as the bluer star IPHAS J190739.84+102943.2 (g= 20.2; g-r= 1.0),
which is 4" to the SW. This object is also classified as variable
in 2021A&A...648A..44M and was also detected as a transient by
ZTF (ZTF19abciwnk). The finding chart in 1987SSRv...45....1D
does not have enough resolution to solve the two candidates.
The bluer star is likely the true nova.

The ZTF data showed a dwarf nova-like phase in 2019
June-Aug. Time-resolved data on 2018 Aug. 4 showed
some degree of flickering. This is most likely the CV.
