[vsnet-chat 5573] Fw: AAVSO News Flash #1046

["Sebastian Otero" <varsao@fullzero.com.ar>]

This is the first time I don't become aware of a nova discovery through
vsnet...
What is happening lately? Everything is delayed...

I hope we don't lose the quality of this e-mail exchange, I think it is a
treasure we must cherish.

Regards,
Sebastian.
