[vsnet-id-2mass 227] V4074 Sgr



V4074 Sgr

   From the old query in vsnet-chat 522-534:

> Hi,
> 
> I just wish to query the position of V4074 Sgr as shown on the
> new VSNET chart. 
> I have been monitoring this variable for some time, its position
> verified against that shown in the New Years edition 1987 of the
> Duerbeck atlas.   In this case it concerns the 'object' shown on the
> VSNET chart as star 11.50 and not the star indicated as V4074. 
> 
> Perhaps the actual V4074 Sgr position has been reviewed  since
> then (as was its nova classification) , I am in no way to know! 
> Can someone look into it?

> 1.  There are indeed two emission line objects in the vicinity. V4074 Sgr

>     The other object is HD 167362, a planetary nebula.
> Positions (1950): 
> V4074 Sgr : 18h12m51.9s -30d52'16"

> Finder Charts:
> Duerbeck's chart is correct, but is hard to follow.
> Allen's chart is wrong. He points to HD 167362, while V4074 Sgr is in fact
> 8.5mm W, 7mm N of the indicated position. His chart is easier on the eye.

> Examining Allen's chart under magnification, the images of V4074 Sgr and

  The first star is "relatively bright" in 2MASS, while the second star
is saturated.  What do you think?
