Re: V4744 Sgr precise astrometry > Even in the deepest DSS image (limiting Rmag about 21.0), no object >can be found within 5" of this position. Also in 2MASS images, there is no object within 2" of my reported position (17h47m21s.724 +/- 0s.003, -23o28'22".79 +/- 0".06). A faint object (about 2" west of the nova) which cannot be seen in DSS R images was marginally detected on 2MASS J, H, and Ks images.
