[vsnet-chat 3945] Re: Nova Pup 2000 image



I tend to agree with this. The faint companion star is definitely offset from the actual Nova position.

But then there might be another more aligned and therefore hidden star behind the 14th magn progenitor suspect. 

Give it a couple of months. We'll eventually know the answer....

This is interesting!

I have prepared a colour-image from the 5 available Schmidt-scans (thanks to 
the USNO-pixel-server). 
http://members.aol.com/bela1996/nova-pup-2000.jpg 
There is a hint of a faint companion star to the south-east of the suspected 
progenitor, but with no noticeable proper motion from 1953 to 1986.
On the right half of the posted image is a combination of Arne Hendens 
(Negativ-)V-image and of the combined Schmidt-Scans. Obviously the suspected 
progenitor is in the exact center of the nova-image.
All image processing was done with MIRA AP 6.0 and PaintShop Pro.

blue = so0843 + sb0493
green = ao0493
red = se0843 + sr0493
