Hiroyuki Maehara, Kwasan Observatory, Kyoto University, reports on follow-up multicolor photometry of this object; CCD images obtained with a 0.25-m telescope at the Kwasan Observatory around Sept. 11.59 UT yield position end figures 38s.38, 13".9 (UCAC2 catalogue for position reference stars) and the following magnitudes: Sept. 11.588, I_c = 10.45; 11.589, R_c = 13.43; 11.590, V = 16.0. Maehara adds that there are no IRAS or AKARI catalogued point sources within 1' of the object, though a 2MASS point source (J = 14.8, H = 14.2, K = 12.6) exists about 1".6 east of the object's position. Maehara also forwards a report by Akira Arai and Mizuki Isogai (Kyoto Sangyo University) of a low- resolution spectrum obtained on Sept. 11.597 with the 1.3-m Araki telescope (+ LOSA/F2 spectrograph; R about 500). The spectrum shows H_alpha and O I 777.4-nm emission lines; the FWHM of the H_alpha emission is 1500 km/s. These features suggest that this object is a classical nova.
