Abstract (from CDS):
The following Japanese observers have reported independent discoveries on May 25 of an apparent tenth-magnitude nova: K. Nishiyama (Kurume, Fukuoka-ken) and F. Kabashima (Miyaki-cho, Saga- ken) on 60-s frames taken with a 105-mm f/5.6 lens (communicated by S. Nakano, Sumoto, Japan); H. Nishimura (Kakegawa, Shizuoka-ken; via Nakano); and K. Haseda (Toyohashi, Aichi; via H. Yamaoka, Kyushu University). Nishimura and Haseda used 120-mm-f.l. camera lenses. Other confirming reports were received after word of the object was posted on the Central Bureau's unconfirmed-objects webpage. CCD position measured for the apparent nova by Nishiyama and Kabashima (0.40-m f/9.8 reflector) on May 25.750 UT: R.A. = 17h39m50s.93, Decl. = -23o50'00".9 (equinox 2000.0). Other measured position end figures: Nishimura, 51s, 49'.1; Haseda, 47s, 50'28" (resolution 14"/pixel); S. Dvorak (near Orlando, FL, U.S.A., 0.25-m telescope on May 26.30), 50s.90, 50'00".6; C. Jacques and E. Pimentel (Belo Horizonte, Brazil, 0.25-m reflector remotely near Mayhill, NM, U.S.A., on May 26.43), 50s.92, 50'01".1. E. Guido and G. Sostero (Remanzacco, Italy, 0.25-m reflector, remotely near Mayhill, NM), 50s.95, 50'00".9 (image posted at http://tinyurl.com/ 3v9cje).

Visual magnitude estimates by A. Jones (Nelson, New Zealand): May 26.40, 10.2; 26.45, 10.1.
