Brian,
Arto Oksanen has done astrometry on my confirmation image of 20/6 against the USNO-A2.0 frame using 17 stars.
He derived a position
05 08 25.71 -68 26 23.3
with a mean residual of 0.55 arcsec.
The evening image is expected to show a position even more to the SE.
Although not the final result yet, this all seems to give support to Brian's point.
There is possibly a nova after all..
More and better astrometry will be done.

Kato-san's just put one of your images on the Web along with
matching 2MASS images. As I've already posted to vsnet-alert, the
new object clearly is _not_ the red star we've been talking about,
but seems offset an arcsec or few southeast of it. So this is either
the very faint 2MASS star there, or something entirely new.
