[vsnet-alert 4505] Re: XTE J1118+480 optical counterpart?

[Denis Buczynski <denis@cb978iau.demon.co.uk>]

I have observed the field of XTE1118+480 at 2000 March 30 20:43:04 UT
with the 33cm F/3 automatic reflector+SXL8 CCD unfiltered+90s exp at
Conder Brow Observatory (iau978) and have imaged a bright object at the
the location indicated by Uemura in VSNET alert 4503 and have derived
the follwing results:
XTE1118+480                    12.91
GSC3451-1542 comparision star  12.8
GSC3451-974  check star        12.22

Observations of this interesting object are continuing.
Best wishes
Denis.
