[vsnet-alert 9158] V591 Cen position

[Berto Monard]

The actual position (2000) of the probable CV, V591 Cen, based on
astrometry on an outburst image gave:

12 42 17.95 -33 34 07.1  (vs UCAC2) with positional uncertainties of
0.03 and 0.15 respectively.
This is 2.3"N and 2.2"W of the previously assumed counterpart which has
position end figures: 18.12 and 09.4 . 
The CV atlas considers V591 Cen as a non-cv based on spectral
measurements performed on this incorrectly assumed counterpart.

The brightness of V591 Cen on the above image (unfiltered CCD) was
15.5CR (UT 2006 nov30.1).
The object is not shown on DSS2-red to a magnitude limit of well
beyound 20.
