In addition to Tycho-2 stars, about 2/3 degree away from the new nova suspect is the local GSPC sequence, which should be useful for calibration of photos/images as the object fades. V and B-V are from the GSPC, and I have added Cousins R magnitudes computed from: R = V - 0.508(B-V) - 0.040, which should be good to ~0.05 mag. or so. \Brian Name RA (2000) Dec GSC V B-V 'R' S521-D 17 58 32.4 -26 03 41 6845-0091 10.73 1.21 10.16 S521-C 17 58 04.7 -26 07 15 6845-0698 10.76 0.21 10.69 S521-E 17 58 36.2 -26 10 38 12.23 1.26 11.63 S521-F 17 58 35.6 -26 03 33 13.10 1.03 12.62 S521-G 17 58 38.6 -26 04 16 14.42 0.72 14.09
