Koichi Nishiyama (Kurume, Japan) and Fujio Kabashima (Miyaki, Japan) report their discovery of a possible nova (mag 11.7) on two 40-s unfiltered CCD frames (limiting magnitude 13.2) taken around Mar. 27.832 UT using a 105-mm f/4 camera lens (+ SBIG STL6303E camera); they confirmed the object on five 3-s unfiltered CCD frames (limiting magnitude 16.3) taken around Mar. 27.854 using a Meade 200R 0.40-m f/9.8 reflector (+ SBIG STL1001E camera). The variable is located at R.A. = 18h10m21s.35, Decl. = -23o05'30".6 (equinox 2000.0); nothing is visible at this position on two past survey frames taken on Mar. 17.814 (limiting mag 13.4) and 26.837 (limiting mag 13.2). After posting on the Central Bureau's TOCP webpage, the object was given the provisional designation PNV J18102135-2305306. H. Maehara, Kyoto University, reports that CCD images of the variable obtained with a 0.25-m telescope at Kwasan Observatory yield the following magnitudes: Mar. 28.788, I_c = 10.17; 28.789, R_c = 11.40; 28.791, V = 12.86; 28.798, B = 14.47. S. Kiyota (Tsukuba, Japan) writes that images obtained remotely with a 31-cm reflector at the GRAS Observatory (located near Officer, Victoria, Australia) on Mar. 28.670 yield magnitudes V = 12.81, R_c = 11.54, I_c = 10.38, B = 14.66, and position end figures 21s.36, 29".9 for the nova.
