V601 Sco: potential identification problem

   Regarding the recent detection of a brightening of V601 Sco by Rod
Stubbings, and rather negative CCD observation by Berto Monard:

   After a discussion with Rod Stubbings and Berto Monard, it has become
evident that V601 Sco has not been yet unambiguously identified in the
past literature.  My comment follows.

===

    It is possible that Rod actually observed the "true" brightening of
V601 Sco.  The identification on Downes CV atlas comes from Vogt and Bateson,
who simply selected a "blue" object near the originally reported position.
It is possible that the true V601 Sco is a red variable, which may be now
rising.

    Please take a few snapshots (not necessarily nightly), Berto, with short
exposure times to avoid saturation.  This observation could reveal the
true identity of V601 Sco.
