[vsnet-chat 2800] AB Nor outburst astrometry



Two of the images obtained by Stan Walker to obtain the first ever 
observed superhump of AB Nor have been kindly measured by Arne Henden 
to provide outburst astrometry, as follows:

Image 1 237.31452  -43.08024  15:49:15.48  -43:04:48.9 +/- 0.2 arcsec
Image 2 237.31448  -43.08012  15:49:15.47  -43:04:48.4 +/- 0.2 arcsec

This position corrresponds to a faint image of about magnitude 20-21 
on the DSS images. The object is best seen, slightly above quiescent
magnitude at about 19p, on the SERC-J plate of 3 June 1975 as the
northermost star of a small triangle of three stars, all of which 
seem to be embedded in a faint nebulosity of about 10 arcsec 
diameter.
