CBET 2261 notes a possible Nova in Sagittarius, I wonder if anyone has this in any images you have taken? Worth a look if in the area.


Edit from CBET2261

"Nishiyama and Kabashima, Japan, report their discovery of a possible Milky Way nova (mag 11.2) on two 40-s unfiltered CCD frames (limiting magnitude 13.2) taken around Apr. 23.782 UT.... Following precise position for the variable: R.A. = 17h53m02s.98, Decl. = -28d12'19".4 (equinox 2000.0). Nothing is visible at this position on their survey frames taken on Apr. 2.831 (limiting mag 12.9) and 16.749 (limiting mag 13.1), nor on the Digitized Sky Survey from a red plate taken on 1996 Sept. 12 (limiting mag 17.5). A confirming image by Nishiyama and Kabashima with the 0.40-m reflector on Apr 24.673 yields mag 11.6 and position end figures 03s.00, 19".3. "
