From aah@nofs.navy.mil Sat Jun 27 09:30 JST 1998 From: aah@nofs.navy.mil To: tkato@kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp Cc: b.sumner@bom.gov.au, aah@nofs.navy.mil Subject: sequence for N Oph 1998 Date: Fri, 26 Jun 98 17:20:36 -0700 X-Mts: smtp Content-Type: text Content-Length: 2775 Here is the final sequence, based on two nights of photometric observations. Note that star 14 is located at Bruce's location, but appears to have quite different magnitudes. I could have made a mistake in picking it out as I did not have vsnet-chat 990 in front of me. The estimated zero point error for the sequence is less than 0.01mag, and the Poisson errors are less than 0.01mag. Star '00' is the nova with its mean magnitude and color for this time period. Star '99' is a bright star SE which may or may not be a Tycho star; I didn't look closely at the vsnet chart. Coordinates are accurate to +-100mas based on 40 or so USNO-A stars.
