Hola everybody -

Last night between clouds at U.T. Oct 19.1311, I measured the magnitude of
the suspected nova in the SMC with a CCD:  V(bb) = 13.19.

As expected, a long exposure with an objective diffraction grating did not
reach to that limit.  Not only was the suspect too faint, but the bright
moon interferred.

I hope someone tried because the star is clearly getting fainter.  And
fainter.   All the best,  Bill/William Liller
