Possible nova in Aquila.
YAMAOKA H., ITAGAKI K. and NEVSKI V.
Abstract (from CDS):
H. Yamaoka, Kyushu University, reports the discovery by K. Itagaki (Yamagata, Japan) of a variable star on his CCD survey image taken on Sept. 22.5 UT with a 0.21-m reflector; a confirming unfiltered CCD image taken on Sept. 22.586 with a 0.60-m reflector yields mag about 14.0 and the following precise position: R.A. = 19h06m28s.58, Decl. = +7o06'44".3 (equinox 2000.0). Nothing brighter than mag 17.0 is visible at this position on Itagaki's patrol image taken on 2007 Nov. 2.396. The 2MASS catalogue contains a very faint star (J = 16.6, H = 15.5, K_s = 14.7) with position end figures 28s.60, 44".5. Following posting on the Central Bureau's unconfirmed-objects webpage, V. Nevski (Vitebsk, Belarus, 0.30-m reflector) reports that an unfiltered CCD image obtained on Sept. 22.8 yields red mag 14.0 and position end figures 28s.59, 44".6 for the variable, adding that nothing is visible at this position on Digitized Sky Survey images from 1951 July 5 and 1987 July 30 (limiting mag approximately 20).
