Wolfgang Renz, Karlsruhe, Germany, reports that a search of the major astrometric catalogues spanning observations from 1972-2002 indicate that PNV J18441516-1732310 is perhaps a Mira-type variable star that is relatively red, suggesting its identity with the infrared objects IRAS 18413-1735 and AKARI 1844149-173233, with an amplitude of 3-4 mag in the visual band and a period close to one year; he provides the following mean position from a dozen catalogues: R.A. = 18h44m14.959, Decl. = -17:32:33.58 (equinox 2000.0). Renz also suggests possible identity with NSV 11264.
