   The name Nova LMC 1990 No. 2 (or in VSNET format LMCnova1990-2) is
probably most frequently used.  The GCVS team has assigned the LMC
variable number LMCV1341.  However, I don't know whether this should become
the final designation (as we have for galactic variables).

050958.2 -713951 (2000.0) LMCV1341 NR 10.9 15.7 (1990) - - (NOVA) N2LMC1990
050958.2 -713951 (2000.0) LMCnova1968/1990b NR 10.4p-
