We have placed a 2.5x3 degrees finderchart of new Nova Aquilae 2001 at the following URL: http://vsnet.shopplaza.nl/astro/vs-charts/nova2001aql.htm Comparison stars down to magnitude 13.4 were taken from Tycho-1 and Brian Skiff's LONEOS-file. The latter stars are similar in brightness to the ones given on the AAVSO d-chart for V1493 Aql (Nova Aql 1999#1), which appeared only 3/4 degrees north of the new nova. This sequence can also be used when the nova fades below magnitude 13.5, or until a new sequence closer to the nova becomes available. We have also prepared a 15x15' chart for the RCB-star GU Sgr, which is currently in a deep fade near magnitude 16. It can be downloaded from the following URL: http://vsnet.shopplaza.nl/astro/vs-charts/GUSGR.htm We have used mainly the Sumner selection of comparison stars, but have added several stars in the magnitude 15.7-16.5 range. We have not included Sumners 'problem' star 18 of magnitude 16.9, which we actually could not unambigously identify on the red DSS-image. Maybe this is a variable star? Any comments (Bruce, Arne?) on this would be welcome. Reinder Bouma/Edwin van Dijk ------------------------------------------------------------------- Reinder J.
