As reported in another list by Mati Morel, the object measured by
Kushida and Kushida is in my field photometry file for V4444 Sgr.
It is given there as
RA (J2000) DEC V B-V
18:07:20.41 -27:24:32.6 13.247 1.490
with large photometric error indicating variability. Coupled
with the 2MASS bright detection, this is most likely a Mira.
I don't know if it is the same object thought by Nishimura
to be a possible nova.
