[vsnet-alert 2900] SGRnova1999: examination of Sandage survey plate

["Howard H. Lanning" <lanning@stsci.edu>]

  SGRnova1999:

I have examined the B,UV survey plate from the Sandage Two-color Survey
of the Galactic Plane which is coincident with SGRnova1999.  Using the
CCDV
image of the nova and field stars obtained by R. Zissell as a guide
(provided
by the AAVSO), no image at the position of the nova was detectable.
Plates
in this survey typically extend to a limiting magnitude of B~20.  The
plate
coincident with the reported nova position was taken with the Palomar
48-in
(1.2m) Oschin Schmidt telescope on 27 June 1970.  Additionally, no
sources
exhibiting an excess in U-B were noted within a radius of 2.5 arcmin of
the
nova.

    Additional information regarding the Sandage survey may be found at
the
WWW site devoted to the survey, cf.
