[vsnet-alert 7773] Further astrometry on the LMC variable/nova?



The following astrometric positions for the new variable were derived on images taken during early evening and pre-dawn. The scattering is indicated by error limits: the actual error incl systematic off-sets of the Tycho reference stars are not included and are estimated to be much larger:

2 morning sets: 05 08 25.56 +/ 0.03  -68 26 22.3 +/- 0.0   
1 evening set: 05 08 25.92  -68 26 22.7 

There seems to be a small systematic difference in RA between the sets taken about 12h apart.

Considering the overall astrometric uncertainty, the derived positions coincide well with that of the earlier identified star.
 
I'll do one more evening measurement when clouds stay away.

Regards,

Berto Monard
