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
