The suspected UG star V730 Sgr (vsnet-gcvs 16, 09 July 2000) appears to be
in outburst as follows :
STAR YYMMDD(UT) MAG OBSERVER
SGRV730 20000728.47 <145 WPX
SGRV730 20000730.43 <145 WPX
SGRV730 20000802.45 <140 WPX
SGRV730 20000804.4625 136 WPX
SGRV730 20000804.4777 136 WPX
Above magnitudes are eyeball approximate as I have no reliable values for
this field. GSC mags appear to be about one magnitude too faint.
The star in outburst may be identical with GSC 6887:83 (GSC mag 15.2) and
according to The Sky software lies some 18 arcsec west of GSC 6887:84 (GSC
mag 14.0) but which has an eyeball magnitude closer to 13.0. If correct,
this places the variable about 23 arcsec south of its catalogue position.
Confirmation requested.
