Koichi Nishiyama, Kurume, Fukuoka-ken, Japan; and Fujio Kabashima, Miyaki-cho, Saga-ken, Japan, report the discovery of a possible nova (mag 10.5) on two 40-s unfiltered CCD frames (limiting magnitude 12.7) taken around Feb. 20.857 UT using a 105-mm f/4 camera lens (+ SBIG STL6303E camera). They confirmed the appearance of the new object at mag 10.3 on six 10-s unfiltered CCD frames (limiting magnitude 17.4-17.6) taken around Feb. 21.832 and mag 10.7 on Feb. 22.846 using a Meade 200R 0.40-m f/9.8 reflector (+ SBIG STL1001E camera), from which they measured the following precise position: R.A. = 17:06:07.53, Decl. = -37:14:27.4 ± 0".2 (equinox 2000.0). Nothing is visible at this position on two past survey frames taken on 2009 Sept. 18.425 (limiting mag 13.6) and Oct. 3.414 (limiting mag 12.3), or on a Digitized Sky Survey (DSS) plate from 1997 Apr. 2.8 (limiting red mag 18.0).
