I have compiled a list of reliable V mags within a 1 degree square centred on the nova. Most have been extracted from the lists of foreground stars by Gochermann et al (AsApSuppl 99,591(1993) & ibid. 121,247 (1997), The last five entries are by Lucke (1972), a skeleton sequence for the association LH 110 (NGC 2103).
