[vsnet-obs 25427] V1494 Aql - 1999 Dec 19 UT



Norwegian Astronomical Society - Variable Star Section

1918+04  V1494 AQUILAE (Nova Aql 1999 No. 2)

Recent observation by B. H. Granslo (Blindern, Oslo, Norway) in
VSNET format:

Object    YYMMDD(UT)  Mag  Obs  Remarks
AQLV1494  991219.698   72  GRL  1-4;2-2;4+6 (2); seq. HIP (V-mag)

Instrument: 7x50 binoculars. Comparison stars are identified in
vsnet-alert 3778.

As already reported by R. Bouma and others, this nova has become
notably fainter during the last 24 hours or so, and has by now
faded three magnitudes from maximum. We thus have t3 = 16 days,
i.e. fairly close to T. Watanabe's prediction.
 
                                 Yours sincerely,
                                 Bjorn H. Granslo
