VISUAL OBSERVATIONS OF NOVA OPHIUCHI 1993 - REPORT NO. 001 (1993 April 20)
==========================================================================
YYYY MM DD.DDD OBSERVATION MAG CL INSTRUM. OBSERVER
1993 04 20.08 a-13;b-7 9.4: 3 C203,123x Granslo, B. H.
1993 04 20.090 (a-10);b-8;c-6;d+2;(e+4) 9.5 2 C203,133x Dahle, H.
Time system is Universal Time. Magnitudes were calculated from Pogson's
step method. CL = class: estimated accuracy of observation; 1 = good,
2 = fair, 3 = poor. Instrument (aperture in mm): C = Schmidt-Cassegrain.
Comparison stars (magnitudes from SAO Star Catalog): a (SAO 185397) = 7.9;
b (SAO 185380) = 8.8; c (SAO 185372) = 9.1; d (SAO 185361) = 9.3;
e (SAO 185369) = 8.5. Estimates in paranthesis have not been used in
calculating the magnitude. Observering was difficult due to twilight and
low altitude. Observations may refer to the mag. 10 star located 2' W of
the nova.
Observers and observing sites: Haakon Dahle (Oslo, Norway); Bjorn H. Granslo
(Fjellhamar, Norway).
