Following posting on the Central Bureau's unconfirmed-objects webpage, other observers have reported magnitudes and positions for the presumed nova. M. Nissinen and V.-P. Hentunen, Varkaus, Finland, report that images (limiting mag R = 17.2) obtained remotely with the GRAS4 Epsilon telescope near Mayhill, NM, U.S.A., on Aug. 17.114 yield mag R = 11.0 and position end figures 19s.70, 13".7 (USNO-A2.0 catalogue), adding that nothing is visible at this position on a Palomar Sky Survey DSS image (limiting red mag 20.8). S. Kiyota, Tsukuba, Japan, reports position end figures 19s.68, 14".0 and the following magnitudes from images taken remotely with the 30-cm Global Rent-a-Scope G1 near Mayhill: Aug. 17.133, B = 13.54; 17.134, V = 11.90; 17.135, R_c = 10.42; 17.137, I_c = 9.36. L. Elenin reports position end figures 19s.72, 13".7 (UCAC2 catalogue; RMS 0".6; Astrometrica software) and the following magnitudes from remotely obtained images using a 35.6-cm Maksutov-Newton reflector at the Tzec Maun Observatory near Mayhill: Aug. 17.225, B = 13.67; 17.223, V = 12.43; 17.218, R = 10.78.
