[vsnet-chat 3927] Re: Possible Nova in Pup

[Rudolf Novak <novak@hvezdarna.cz>]

Dear dr. Kato,

I saw soma mails with the new "nova" and have a question - is the 
amplitude for the system common for novae? I suspect it quite small - 
maybe reddening who knows but maybe southeners could perform some 
high-speed photometry for oscilaltions...
