[vsnet-alert 7376] V877 Ara image and position



V877 Ara image and position

    Roland Santallo (Southern Stars Observatory, Tahiti French Polynesia)
has kindly sent images.  The JPEG file is placed at:

    http://vsnet.kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp/pub/vsnet/DNe/V877_Ara/san1.jpg

    This object seems to be correpond to

USNO0225.27372547 171653.966 -653251.46 (2000.0) 20.3 21.6

    which is different from previous identidications.  More detailed
identification awaits Yamaoka-san's astrometry.  The quiescent counterpart
seems to be much fainter than was previously thought.  This is consistent
with the superhump detection.

    Anyway, observers should refer to the above image before observing,
since the position has a large offset from the GCVS/NSV/Downes catalogs.
Further obseravtions are very strongly requested!
