Dear all, I have checked several DSS scans of the field of NGC 3432, and found that a hint (rmag about 19.5) of the object reported in IAUC 7415 can be seen on DSS2 R images taken on May 16 and 17, 1998 at Palomar (limiting mag about 20 or slightly deeper). It cannot be seen on other DSS images (DSS2 Bj taken on 1991 and 1996, or DSS1 R taken on 1953). It is possible that the object was in outburst also on 1998, or that it was in the quiescent phase on 1998. Sincerely Yours, Hitoshi Yamaoka, Kyushu Univ., Japan yamaoka@rc.kyushu-u.ac.jp
