S. Nakano, Sumoto, Japan, reports the discovery by H. Nishimura (Miyawaki, Kakegawa, Japan) of a possible nova (mag 10.5) on two Kodak T-Max 400 films taken on Apr. 2.807 UT using a Pentax 6x7 camera (+ 200-mm f/4.0 lens; 60-s exposures). Nishimura provided the following position for the new object: R.A. = 21h11m32s, Decl. = +44o48'02" (equinox 2000.0), noting that nothing was present at this location on his films taken on Mar. 28 (limiting mag 12) or on earlier patrol films back to Oct. 2001. Following a request to the AAVSO, R. Miles (Stourton Caundle, Dorset, England) reports a confirmation of the object at V = 8.5 ± 0.3 on a CCD image taken on Apr. 4.995, providing the following precise position end figures: 32s.34, 03".9 (uncertainty estimated as ± 0".3). Miles states that nothing is visible at this location on a Digitized Sky Survey image. H. Yamaoka, Kyushu University, notes that a very red star of mag about 14 in several star catalogues has position end figures about 31s.9, 03".3.
