Date: Thu, 2 Oct 2003 10:33:18 +0200 Subject: Possible nova in M31 From: "gvnn64@libero.it" <gvnn64@libero.it> after your alert note, I checked my unfiltered CCD images of M31 obtained by myself on Sept.29.83, 2003 by means of a 0,15m f/6 Maksutov + CCD: at the same coordinates provided by Kamil I found an object of approximately (CCD unfiltered) magnitude 16.7; in this same position there is nothing in an archive image secured on Aug.17 2003 (limiting magnitude almost 18.5). Hope that this will help. Kind regards, Giovanni Sostero (Remanzacco Observatory, Italy)
