Re: Possible Nova in Sgr > According to the same IAUC, Kushida and Kushida reported >astrometry of a bright object on an unfiltered CCD image: 18h 07m >20s.38, -27o 24' 31".6 (J2000.0). Kushida communicated that it was mag about 8.5 on this image. Compared with the photographic magnitude by Nishimura (98p on 8.792 UT), the new object is rather red source, which is less likely a typical nova in the rising phase.
