Balam, Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, University of Victoria, writes that the variable appeared with the following magnitude and colors from SDSS-filtered observations obtained on Sept. 2.27 UT with the 1.82-m Plaskett telescope of the National Research Council of Canada: g = 12.91 (0.03), u-g = -0.20 (0.08), g-r = -0.11 (0.07). Balam measures position end figures 25s.45, 18".4, and he adds that there is nothing visible at the position of the variable on the Palomar Sky Surveys (blue and red plates).
