Re: Possible Nova in Sgr: further archival images > The variability of this object is easily detected with the DSS2 R >images taken on 1991, 1992, and 1996. It is quite dim on DSS1 Bj >images (1987.705 and 1987.590), which I guess Kushidas referred. The POSS I digitized image (thanks to USNO Flagstaff) taken on 1958.5257 with 103aO (Bj) shows this object much brighter than in other Bj images, such as POSS I Bj taken on 1958.2957. Thus this object has also a large amplitude in photographic band, which is consistent with the description of V4006 Sgr, and the reports by Haseda-san and others.
