Following posting on the Central Bureau's unconfirmed-objects webpage, S. Kiyota (Tsukuba, Japan) reports that CCD images taken on Jan. 22 with a 20-cm Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope (+ Apogee Alta E47+ CCD camera) yield the following position for the possible nova: R.A. = 18:07:26.79, Decl. -29:00:42.8, evidently noting that nothing is visible at this position on a DSS image. Kiyota also provides the following magnitudes for the new object: Jan. 22.862 UT, V = 8.98, R_c = 8.38; 22.864, I_c = 7.78. W. Vollmann, Vienna, Austria, reports that he measured position end figures 27s.0, 44" and green mag 9.3 from unfiltered images taken by H. Koberger (Vilaflor, Tenerife) with a digital SLR camera (+ 300-mm camera lens) on Jan. 22.287, adding that nothing is visible at this position within 10" on Digitized Sky Survey blue and red images to limiting mag approximately 18.
