Dear VSNET readers, I have identified NSV 08383 at its outburst position with star USNO-A2.0 0225-27288943 at location 17 16 52.75 -65 32 47.1 This star has a quiescent magnitude around 17.3 and B-R=0.7 which indicates the blue colour of this object when compared to neighbouring stars of that brightness level at quiescence. I am confident that NSV08383 is a cv in outburst and not like V2323 Sgr and now recently V2038 Sgr which are non cvs and probable Mira stars. It would be very opportune to have this outburst confirmed and specified by UBVRI (at least blue-red) measurements. I propose the following comparison stars, calibrated vs a nearby GSPC sequence, USNO-A2.0 refers: 0225-27292846 at 17 16 59.3 -65 32 17 , mag 143 0225-27286104 at 17 16 48.0 -65 31 36 , mag 139 0225-27277133 at 17 16 33.0 -65 31 42 , mag 147 These sequence stars are sufficiently 'white' to allow proper visual comparison to bluish NSV 08383. My recent observations using the above sequence NSV08383 990223.99 <139 MLF NSV08383 990227.11 142 MLF NSV08383 990228.106 141 MLF Best regards, Berto Monard Pretoria
