AAVSO ALERT NOTICE 330 (November 30, 2005)
SUBJECT: NOVA LMC 2005 - Nova in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Object: 0511-69 N LMC 05
Discovered By: William Liller, Vina del Mar, Chile
Discovery Magnitude: 11.5 V (Tech Pan film, unfiltered, using a 0.2-m
Schmidt camera)
Discovery Date: November 26.164 UT
Position: Peter Nelson, Ellinbank, Victoria, Australia, forwards the
following position measured from a CCD image taken by him on November
27.5833 UT:
R.A. = 05h 10m 32.68s (2000.0)
Decl. = -69o 12' 35.7" (2000.0)
Please note that this position is not the one given by B. Allen in IAU
Circular 8635; that position is incorrect.
Spectra: A low-resolution spectrogram taken Nov. 28.28 UT by F. M. Walter,
Stony Brook University, A. Pasten, Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory
(CTIO), and H. E. Bond, Space Telescope Science Institute, using the
SMARTS/CTIO 1.5-m telescope (+ RC spectrograph), indicates a classical
nova near maximum (IAU Circular 8635, ed. D.W.E. Green).
Chart: A chart (approximately 18x13 arcminutes) made by Mati Morel and
revised by E. Waagen, AAVSO, is available at
www.aavso.org/charts/DOR/N_LMC_05/N_LMC_05.GIF
Report Object to the AAVSO as: 0511-69 N LMC 05
Observations Reported to the AAVSO:
Nov. 22.065 UT, 12.8: V, W. Liller, Vina del Mar, Chile (Tech Pan film,
no filter);
27.41, 12.6 CCDV, B. Allen, Blenheim, New Zealand (IAU Circular 8635);
27.576, 12.8, A. Pearce, Nedlands, W. Australia;

29.066, 12.70 CCD, Liller;
29.086, 12.7 V, Liller (Tech Pan film, no filter, two photos).
Notes:
a. Liller notes nothing was seen at this position down to magnitude 13 on
earlier images through November 20.
Congratulations to Bill on his latest discovery!
