Re: Possible Nova in Sgr: Kanatsu's observation K. Kanatsu (Matsue, Shimane, Japan) just reported the following photographic estimates (with f200mm lens and T-Max400(120) film + PO0 filter) of the object reported in IAUC 8113. (Kanatsu gave the GSC number rather than the possible nova designation; the decision is preserved in the following data). The object was bright in 2002 summer, indicating that the object is likely a Mira-star, which can be identical with V4006 Sgr. Kanatsu did not detect other different variable star canditates near the nominal position of V4006 Sgr.
