0110      Nova Ophiuchi 1994 - Photometry Update No. 2 (1994/06/04)
0120
0130          Nova Oph 1994  [N]   7.0: mag [p] - [9.5 mag. [p]
0140  R.A. = 17h 35m 44s.62  Decl. = -19d 19' 34".0 (J2000.0) [IAUC 6001]
0155  [Position is from astrometry by Y. Kushida, Yatsugatake South Base
0160  Observatory and A. Sugie, Dynic Astronomical Observatory, Japan]
0165  The corresponding position for B1950.0 is R.A. = 17h 32m 47s.57,
0170  Decl. = -19d 17' 41".7.
0175
0180  K. Sekiguchi (South African Astronomical Observatory) and S. Matsumoto
0185  (University of Tokyo) obtained a spectrum of the object on June 3.79 UT
0190  (wavelength interval 3400-5400 Angstrom, resolution ~3.5 A) which
0195  confirms that it is a nova. The spectrum looks like a typical classical
0200  nova in the early decline stage, strong and broad Balmer emission lines
0205  (with P Cyg absorption features) and Fe II emission lines.
