Hola Amigos -

There is an apparent nova (mag 8.6) on two Kodak Tech Pan photographs taken
at UT Oct. 1.0098 and Oct. 1.0107 with an 85mm camera (+orange filter). 
The approximate location of the star is R.A. = 13h 55.5m, Dec. = -64d 16'
(equinox 2000).  Nothing brighter than 11.0 appears at this location on
photographs taken on Sep. 19.000.

Confirmation is kindly requested.  And PLEASE NOTE that in a few more
hours, I will be leaving for a 10-day trip to the USA.  Therefore, I will
be unable to get a precise position or a confirming spectrogram.

Thank you.   And all the best to all,   Bill Liller
