IAUC No. 6443 (Aug. 4) tells the discovery of an apparent nova by Yukio
Sakurai. The object was reported at magnitude 10 on July 11.6 and 12.6
The accurate position measured by T. Kojima is:
18h 23m 42s.49
-18o 07' 15".0 (J2000.0)
The object has been spectroscopically confirmed to be a nova by R. M.
Wagner and P. Martini. The spectrum suggested an early decline stage of
a relatively slow nova.
VSNET will provide updated information of the nova through mailing lists
and the WWW home page.
