[vsnet-chat 4880] V445 Pup

Those of you who might be thinking about observing
V445 Pup (Nova Pup 2000) during its current obscuration
event (IAUC 7730) should be aware that there is a
faint companion about 4arcsec SE of the position for
V445 Pup.  This object is about V=19.7, pretty faint,
but V445 Pup itself is fainter than this and you might
give a false detection.
  A good comparison set of images is given at

A bright BVRI field photometry file is given at

and a visual sequence (of little use until the star recovers!):
