Possible Nova in Pup: possible variability of field stars Akira Takao (Kitakyushu-City,Fukuoka-Pref.) reports that the following two stars in the field of the possible Nova Pup (Kanatsu Object) seem to show detectable variability on his CCD frames. The constancy of the comparison (GSC6543.2917) against the check stars (GSC6543.2220, GSC6543.3212) have been confirmed. Please avoid using these stars as comparisons of the possible nova, and report magnitudes of these stars to confirm their variability.
