Dear Taichi, I have no way of proving or disproving the cv status of V2323 Sgr, but since Seiichiro's measurements I am convinced it isn't a cv. Hopefully someone else will confirm Seiichiro's and your measurements via V-R-I photometry or spectroscopy. V2323 Sgr is now on its way down (getting fainter): I expect its v (or V) magnitude to decrease more dramatically than that in R or I. Unless it is proven to be a cv-like object (symbiotic eventually) this will be the last I'll have seen of V2323 Sgr!

The resultant Ic=12.2, when the object was presumably in "quiescence". From this apparent red color, I judged this star to be "not CV?" according to my old memo. Some more infomation on Sgr suspected CVs, which I judged "non CV" from their colors. V2032 Sgr Ic=10.7 V2038 Sgr Ic=11.7 V3462 Sgr Ic=10.6 V3914 Sgr Ic=9.6 Regards, Taichi Kato !
