Re: KW And still bright >The image has been sent to Yamaoka-san for analysis in order to make >the secure quiescent identification. I hope new astrometry will be >soon made available by Yamaoka-san :-) Using 32 GSC-ACT stars, the position of KW And in this outburst has been derived as: R.A. = 2h35m17s.991, Decl. = +41o14'02".47 (J2000.0). Mean residual is about 0".4. It seems secure that the USNO_A2.0 star at (end figures) 18s.00, 02".1 is identical to KW And, whose USNO_A2.0 rmag = 17.8 and bmag = 18.6. This star can easily seen on every DSS 1st and 2nd generation images. It seems that Kurochkin, 1977, Astron. Tsirk., 974, 4-5 is the only one reference of the type identification (UG) and the GCVS minimum magnitude(22:p). It is needed to re-commit this literature for further discussion, I guess.
