Following posting on the Central Bureau's unconfirmed-objects webpage, other observers have reported observations of the new variable. R. Kaufman (Bright, Victoria, Australia, DSLR camera + 200-mm zoom camera lens) writes that unfiltered, green-channel images taken on Feb. 22.594 show the new star at mag perhaps 11.4. S. Kiyota (Tsukuba, Japan; remotely using a Global- rent-a-scope 32-cm reflector + SBIG ST-10XE CCD cmaera located at Moorook, South Australia) reports position end figures 07s.51, 26".9 and the following magnitudes: Feb. 22.701, V = 12.03; 22.702, B = 13.09; 22.703, R_c = 10.70; 22.705, I_c = 9.65. Kiyota adds that nothing is visible at this position on a "SERC.V" Digitized Sky Survey plate (no additional information provided). E. Guido and G. Sostero also imaged this object remotely through a 0.40-m f/3.8 reflector from the GRAS Observatory at Moorook on Feb. 22.8, their unfiltered CCD image yielding magnitude about 10.1 and position end figures 07s.50, 27".7; an animation showing their image with respect to an archival DSS plate is posted at website URL http://bit.ly/9wAoFN.
