Thanks Ken, also pleased that it is in the subsequent CBET (4812).

There's another target as well - yep, another nova! This one's in Sagittarius and a lot fainter, discovered at 9.9 C. Its temporary designation is PNV J17580848-3005376 and it has just been spectroscopically confirmed as an Fe II type classical nova. Congratulations to Shigehisa Fujikawa on his discovery!
