From: "JG" <jg@jgjs.freeserve.co.uk> Date: Sat, 21 Sep 2002 18:26:18 +0000 Subject: re Haseda's latest/current possible nova I'm sending this info on at a just in case level, but you're both probably aware of the following by now. Trouble is, I can't get into the NOFS pixel server to get archive plate images to look at things further, which could be a problem with my system, probably due to a java engine too many installed or something. Yourselves may have no such problems. Anyway, given Doug West's position of 19 01 09.38 -22 00 05.9 there is a _very close_ fit with GSC 2.2 and USNO A 2.0 and 2MASS candidates (apparently too faint/blue for UCAC1), all with end figures of 09.2-09.3s and 6" in RA and Dec respectively. GSC2.2 Fmag 17.05 +/- 0.45 Jmag 17.71 +/- 0.43 USNO A2.0 red mag: 16.7 blue mag: 17.0 2MASS J 16.37 +/- 0.09 H 15.84: Ks 16.97: Crudely estimated V mag is 16.8 from USNO A2.0 transform and 16.85 from GSC 2.2 (Guide 8 / Bill Gray). All in all looking a little colourless to blue (given probable reddening in the field it is in). ???12 mags outburst climb a bit bright for a CV, except possibly WZSge "subclass"??? Anyway, there it is Cheers John JG UK
