S. Nakano reports in IAUC 6941 that Kesao Takamizawa, Saku-machi,
Nagano-ken, Japan has discovered a possible nova of mag. 9.5 on
two exposures from 1998 June 15.561 UT. Takamizawa was using a
10-cm f/4.0 lens and T-Max 400 film. According to positions
derived by the discoverer and R. and Y. Kushida (who confirmed
the discovery with CCD) the possible nova is located at R.A. =
17h32m00s, Decl. = -19o13'.9 (2000.0). No object was present at
this place on 48 previous patrol films from 1994 Feb 17 to 1998
May 19. T. Kato, Kyoto University, notes that this object lies
within the error circle of the ROSAT source 1RXS 173200.0-191349.
