[vsnet-alert 971] Possible Nova Sco 1997



POSSIBLE NOVA SCO 1997.
=======================

I have quickly scanned the Mermilliod UBV catalogues (NASA ADC Selected
Astronomical Catalogs, vols. 1 & 2), and found the following useful V mags
for comparison stars:

HD No.          (J2000)         V     B-V
162856  17:54:31   -29:47:05   9.14  0.13
162979  17:55:08.7 -29:48:41   8.36  0.54
316569  17:54:31.2 -29:47:09   9.35  0.29
316608  17:54:12.8 -30:12:53   9.59  0.17

My observation of the nova:

1997 June 7:    11:25 (UT)    mv = 10.0

20x65 binoculars.
