My colleague Mark Trudgett took the attached (very cropped) image of IC5152 (Indus dwarf) last night (10" Newtonian, Orion Starshoot pro, 16 mins), and noticed a new star (arrowed) which is not for example on my recent shot from 31 Jun 08 (Celestron C-11, STL-11000M, 60 mins), the DSS2 image on WikiSky, or in David Malin's AAT shot.

Please have a look through your library and let us know if this is an old friend (and therefore a foreground long period deep variable), a cruel artifact, or just possibly perhaps a supernova.
