[Taichi Kato <tkato>]

   IAUC No. 6777 tells the discovery of a nova in NGC 205 by the Beijing
Astronomical Observatory team.  The nova has been spectroscopically confirmed
to be a nova after maximum.

   00h 40m 23s.26  (J2000.0)
   +41o 43' 27".0

         N

   Reported magnitudes (unfiltered CCD):

   1997 Nov.  4     invisible
             21.54  18.8
             22.50  18.4
             23.44  18.5

   The spectrum described in IAUC No. 6777 seems to suggest the nova is in
the early decline stage of an slow nova.  Follow-up observations (CCD
photometry etc.) are encouraged.

   In reporting to vsnet-obs using the recommended format, use the name
NGC205nova1997 in the first column.
