[vsnet-alert 8907] Re: AAVSO Special Notice #11: Possible New Object in Ophiuchi

[Tom Krajci]

I have started an unfiltered imaging run on this new object.  Based on
visual inspection of my first CCD frames, and comparing them to a DSS2 red
plate in Aladin I get the following approximate coordinates:

R.A.: 17h 15m 33s Decl.: -29d 09' 37" (2000)

After sunrise I'll do proper astrometry and report the results, and forward
images to those that request them (in FITS or jpeg format, please specify).

 P. Williams (Heathcote, NSW, Australia) reports through AVSON on the
discovery of a new object in Ophiuchi. It has been visually confirmed by
Maciej Reszelski (Szamotuly, Poland). Photographic confirmation by B.
Liller (Vina Del Mar, Chile) on panchromatic film with an orange filter
has been reported through CV-Net. Current reported observations:

April 06.311   >12      B. Liller (LIW) Photographic w/Orange Filter
April 06.565    10.5    P. Williams (WPX) Visual
April 06.590    10.4    P. Williams (WPX) Visual

 Peter gives the following estimated location:
           R.A.: 17h 15m 30s Decl.: -29d 09' 30" (2000)

 This is located on the AAVSO chart for V517 Oph. However, a dedicated,
new AAVSO chart is in production and will be placed online within 10 hours
at the folliowing URL:
  http://www.aavso.org/cgi-bin/searchcharts3.pl?name=var%20oph%2006

 Please report observations to the AAVSO for now as 9999+99 Var Oph 06.
Multicolor filtered photometry and spectroscopy is requested for
confirmation.
