Nova Cassiopeiae 1993

[linander@csd.cri.dk (Stig Linander)]

Dear Mr. Yasuto Takenaka !

The weather made some observations during the weekend possible.
Friday evening the nova was the weakest I have seen yet.
I could not distinguish the magnitude of the nova from the mag. 7.23 star.
Saturday evening the nova was a little bit brighter.
My estimates:

1994 01 07.740   7.2  mv HI *Linander, S.        5 -cm Bino.(10x)     Mail(stl)
1994 01 08.684   7.0  mv HI *Linander, S.        5 -cm Bino.(10x)     Mail(stl)
1994 01 08.767   7.1  mv HI *Linander, S.        5 -cm Bino.(10x)     Mail(stl)
1994 01 08.854   7.0  mv HI *Linander, S.        5 -cm Bino.(10x)     Mail(stl)
1994 01 08.955   7.0  mv HI *Linander, S.        5 -cm Bino.(10x)     Mail(stl)
