2009CBET.2017....1M

L. A. G. Monard, Pretoria, South Africa, reports his independent discovery of 2009la (cf. CBET 2013) at magnitude 16.1 (± 0.2) on an unfiltered CCD image taken on Nov. 11.878 UT. Monard measures the position of 2009la to be R.A. = 4:22:45.88, Decl. = -40:36:50.4 (equinox 2000.0), which is 32" east and 47" south of the galaxy core of NGC 1572, adding that nothing is visible at this position in Digitized Sky Survey images (limiting red mag 20.5) or on images taken at his Bronberg Observatory prior to Oct. 15. (on an image taken on Oct. 15.046, the object was fainter than mag 18.0, evidently not visible). He also measured mag 15.7 on Nov. 14.829.
