V4745 Sgr: prediscovery detection by Nishimura We have received the following observations from Hideo Nishimura, who positively detected V4745 Sgr on Apr. 12 (UT). Unfortunately, Nishimura did not pursue the object because of the presence of a nearby Mira-star V2377 Sgr, although he had recognized the object. He also presents the upper limit observations on Apr. 9 (UT), which can severely constrain the time of the major rise.
