Haseda's possible nova, prenova candidate On the position derived by D. West (19:01:09.34, -22:00:05.5), every DSS 1 (quick V) and DSS 2 (R, I, quick R) image show a isorated star which is cataloged as: GSC_2.2.1 19:01:09.327 -22:00:05.77 Fmag=17.05 Bjmag=17.71 Vmag=16.85 USNO_A2.0 19:01:09.321 -22:00:06.17 rmag=16.7 bmag=17.0 2MASS 19:01:09.34 -22:00:06.2 J=16.371 H=15.836 K=16.966 The second nearest object is about 7" away. Then the star described above is very likely a quiesient counterpart of Haseda's possible nova. Sincerely Yours, Hitoshi Yamaoka, Kyushu Univ., Japan yamaoka@rc.kyushu-u.ac.jp
