The probable Nova was imaged at the Bronberg Observatory with the 
unfiltered CCD camera.

In comparison to the image from the DSS-2/red, a new and bright object 
showed on the image.
Astrometry traceable to the UCAC1 frame gives (2000) coordinates:

17 19 14.10 -27 22 35.4  (+/- 0.2" estimated)

The unfitered CCD observation (UT) :

Nova Oph03   20030717.821   10.4CR   (UCAC1 reference)

Note: compared to the recent estimate by M Linnolt, this CR magnitude 
confirms the new star as non-red.

Regards,

Berto Monard
