 I have a preliminary, but more accurate position, from the Anglo-Australian
Observatory (courtesy Peter Williams) for the nova of
(J2000) 10h44m49.5s  -52o25'35".

I don't know what sort of errors the above figures may have, but the nova
appears
to lie close to the easternmost of a pair of USNO-A2.0 stars. Its position is
10h44m49.10s  -52o25'29.9"   (R=16.6, B=17.8, V=17.1)

There is nothing precisely at the AAT position, so maybe this is the best
candidate.

The other star mentioned above is slightly brighter (R = 16.4, B =16.4), with
end figures 48.4s, 31.2"

Cheers, 
Mati
