Dear DN watchers,

  I have examined many DSS images of V3774 Sgr.  Several outbursts are
detected, so the identification is secure.

DSS2  1980 Jun 21 (JD 2444412) ------- A38W(I)   q
DSS2  1981 May 13 (JD 2444738) ------- A38X(I)   q
DSS1  1987 May 18 (JD 2446934) 17:50UT 060G(Vq)  b
DSS1  1987 May 18 (JD 2446934) 18:40UT 068H(Vq)  b
DSS1  1987 Aug 19 (JD 2447027) 11:39UT 06AN(Vq)  q
DSS2  1988 Aug 19 (JD 2447393) ------- A35F(I)   q
DSS2  1992 May 10 (JD 2448753) ------- A11U(R50) q
DSS2  1992 May 30 (JD 2448773) ------- A1X7(R40) o
DSS2  1992 Jul 21 (JD 2448825) ------- A1XG(R40) b
DSS2  1996 Aug 24 (JD 2450320) ------- A1P6(R5)  q
DSS2  1996 Sep  9 (JD 2450336) ------- A1PA(R5)  q
DSS2  1998 May 27 (JD 2450961) ------- A2QQ(R50) q

o : full outburst (comparable with the western star about 15.0 mag)
b : brighter than quiesient
q : on quisient magnitude

Vq: UK Schmidt quick V (4min exposure)
I : UK Schmidt (90min)
R* : UK Schmidt (*min)

-----
The GCVS and Downes' online catalog says:

V3774 Sgr  18:41:41.20 -32:54:36.1  14.7p - <19.0p

The position is rather good, but this minimum magnitude seems to be 
underestimated.  This CV is identified with cataloged stars:

USNO-A2.0  18:41:41.165 -32:54:33.62 b=17.5 r=17.4
GSC-2.2.1  18 41:41.083 -32:54:33.86 b=17.94 r=17.59 v=16.24

the b and r magnitudes in both catalogs are consistent with the
brightness of neighbour stars in the images in quisient.  So, the
quiesient magnitude of V3774 Sgr is brighter than the GCVS value, 
which would be around 17.5-18.0.  GSC v magnitude would be corresponds
the value when this CV is somewhat brighter than quiesient, but not in
full outburst.

Sincerely Yours,
