Just heard about this from another observer down south....
There's a new nova in scutum, although not bright, anybody interested can take a look. A chart will be available soon. Keith..
From VSNET-ALERT: Akira Takao reported that he has found a possible nova in Scutum. The object was present on CCD image(s) taken last night. The object was reported to be at mag 10.3 (CCD unfiltered).
The location of the object is 18h 32m.1, -06o 43'.6 (J2000.0).
The report is under examination at the CBAT.
The presence of the new object is confirmed on the most recent ASAS-3 image, which was not apparently detected automatically.
Congratulations to Takao-san!
