[vsnet-alert 6395] Suspect nova star in Lyra

["Toni Scarmato" <toniscarmato@hotmail.com>]

Dear all,

continue my search on images taken at 2001/07/18.85 UT.

This time I found an object most likely a variable star or nova star.

Located at position AR 18 52 53.557 Decl. +33 39 16.24 m1~12.509/1.01 using
Astroart and USNO A2 Catalog is visible in 3 images taken at the time
2001/07/18 from 21:47:07 to21:59:15 Local Time with a 200 mm lens on a 35 mm
film Kodak Ultra 400 ISO, 4 minutes exposure.

At the position of the object the USNO A2 catalog not report stars. On the
DSS II generation (95% red) are not visible stars.

Close to the position there are two stars at coordinates:

USNO A2 18 52 54.965 +33 39 04.14 m1=18.00/0.25
USNO A2 18 52 52.750 +33 39 03.10 m1=18.30/0.25

I Have posted the images at my web page

Note: My Megastar program not show asteroids know presents in the field at
the time.
