Dear Colleagues, confronting my CCD magnitude estimate for this nova suspect, got this night, with that I reported in [vsnet-alert 5506] (on behalf of the VSNET Collaboration team), I note that this star has not experienced any fade between Dec. the 31.7 and Jan the 7.0, having a magnitude around 8.7 R (unfiltered). I did also a sort of photometric run on this target, covering about two hours. Looking at the first part of this run, there are no evident fluctuations (compared to those of reference stars); I will perform a more careful analysis later today. Yours, Gianluca -- *********************************************************************** * Gianluca Masi "Two things fill the soul * * Via Madonna de Loco, 47 with awe and reverence [...]: * * 03023 Ceccano (FR) the starry sky above me and * * ITALY the moral law within me" * * e-mail: gianmasi@fr.flashnet.it * * web: http://vsnet.eurolink.it/comets/ I.
