     My reason for asking about an accurate position for this object is that
I noticed that the AC2000 catalogue contains a bright star near the nominal
location that may be an early outburst of the dwarf nova.  It is only a
single position, and thus should be treated with some caution:

6 40 47.90  -24 23 15.3   eq. 2000/ep. 1911.016

The blue magnitude is listed as 11.8.  There is no star so bright on the
DSS image of the field.
