Observer's code:
  Ino: T.Inoue (Aichi,Japan) instruments: 40L,15R,8B
  Ioh: H. Itoh (Tokyo, Japan) instruments: 30SC,5B

(*1) The observer reports "T Pyx visible by a 40-cm reflector (visual).
     Also recorded by AVIS (I.I. + video), which clearly showed brightened
     T Pyx at its proper location.  Nearby 12.5 and 13.5 mag stars were clearly
     identified."  The observer used Burnham's handbook for identifying the
     field.

     While the observation still needs more independent confirmations,
there might have been a short brightness spike which might be somehow related
to the long-awaited forthcoming(?) eruption of this recurrent nova.
