[vsnet-alert 7763] Possible Nova in LMC



All

 

I have visually confirmed Bill Liller’s nova suspect in the LMC.  My positional estimate is RA 5h 08.4m Dec -68d 26m.

My source for comparison star magnitudes was Mati Morel’s LMC Atlas.  There were mag 11.8, 12.2 and 12.9 comparison stars within 1-2 degs of the nova suspect.  Therefore my estimate is quite accurate.
