V607 Aql bright maximum in March

  K. Haseda (Aichi, Japan) reports V607 Aql was observed extremely bright
in 1998 March.  V607 Aql was originally reported as a nova by Wolf (1904),
but subsequent study by Richter revealed the 474-day periodicity and the
variability range 14.1-(18.5p.  Duerbeck suggested the possibility of
the symbiotic nature.  A search for photographs taken around March may
be helpful in further investigating the nature of exceptionally bright
maxima of this object.
