MAXI J1750-327: X-ray nova outburst According to ATels, the X-ray nova MAXI J1750-327, a possible black hole binary, is undergoing an outburst. An optical counterpart has also been detected in outburst. https://www.astronomerstelegram.org/?read=17963 https://www.astronomerstelegram.org/?read=17974 The following ATel reports the magnitudes of g ~ 18.3 and i ~ 16.3 on Aug 14. And the coordinates are 17:50:03.038 -32:42:45.43. https://www.astronomerstelegram.org/?read=17971 Time-series photometry may reveal modulations. Thus, follow-up observations are strongly encouraged. Because of the high extinction toward this Galactic-plane target, Rc- or Ic-band observations are recommended for small telescopes.
