[vsnet-alert 7163] V838 Mon dramatically faded ???!



V838 Mon dramatically faded ???!

   We have received the following yet unconfirmed report that V838 Mon
(Possible Nova in Mon = GSC 4822.39) disappeared!  Yasuo Watanabe
(Kanagawa, Japan) reports that the object was totally invisible at
the time of the observation, and is fainter than the nearby 9.4 mag star.

   Has anyone recorded the object around this time or confirmed the event?
