The GSC-ACT based astrometry reveals: 5:58:17.875 +/- 0.042 +67:53:46.14 +/- 0.27 Brian Skiff wrote: > Is this 2MASS ID the correct star? >5 58 17.89 +67 53 46.1 (2000) southwestern of 10" pair Exactly. Entries in the other catalogues: USNO-A2.0 5:58:17.961 +67:53:46.45 b=16.6 r=16.5 GSC-2.2 5:58:17.844 +67:53:46.05 Rmag=16.92 Bjmag=15.96 However, on DSS 2 image, this star is somewhat elongated to NW-SE. It is possible that it is a close double and the outbursting object is one of them. Sincerely Yours, Hitoshi Yamaoka, Kyushu Univ., Japan yamaoka@rc.kyushu-u.ac.jp
