Just done! Even if people working in the field of CV photometry use
correct atlases to get the position of this star, together with good
charts, before pointing their instruments, the SIMBAD position gives RZ
Leo in a point where it is intermediate between the real position and
the one of the star GSC 271:647. This could be reason of concern, for
those pointing this CV with SIMBAD position and no reference charts. For
this reason, I wrote that short note.

Anyway, observers can find a CCD image of the field, as at the current outburst, at:
