AAVSO Special Notice #164

Possible Nova in Sagittarius
August 7, 2009

Coordinates (from Nishiyama and Kabashima):
RA = 18h 07m 07.67s, Dec = -33d 46m 33.9s (2000.0)

Brian Marsden announces in CBET No. 1899 the independent discovery of a
possible nova (Nova Sagittarii 2009 No. 3) by:

Koichi Nishiyama, Kurume, Fukuoka-ken, Japan, and Fujio Kabashima,
Miyaki-cho, Saga-ken, Japan, at unfiltered magnitude 7.7 on two 60-second
frames taken Aug. 6.494 and 6.495 UT. They confirmed the discovery on five
frames taken around Aug. 6.494. No motion was seen during 80 minutes and
nothing was visible at this location down to 12.7 on survey frames taken
July 22.531 and 29.584 UT. Nothing was seen on the DSS (POSS2/UKSTU red),
or in ASAS, AAVSO VSX, SIMBAD, 2MASS and USNO-B1.0 catalogues, although
the USNO-B1.0 shows a faint star (I = 12.45) nearby (at end figures
07.509s, 33.13").

Grzegorz Pojmanski, Dorota Szczygiel, and Bogumil Pilecki, Warsaw
University Astronomical Observatory, observed by ASAS3 at V = 7.78 on Aug.
6.182 UT at the approximate position RA = 18h 07m 08s, Dec = -33d 46.6m.
Nothing was visible on Aug. 4.152 UT. The ASAS light curve and images can
