Παραθέτω αυτούσιο το alert notice 362 που έλαβα από την AAVSO. Είναι ένα πολύ εύκολο nova (mag 7!!!) Όσοι μπορείτε δείτε το!Η μεσουράνηση αυτές τις μέρες είναι ώρα 5:05πμ σε ύψος από Αθήνα 15μοιρών. AAVSO Alert Notice 362 Nova in Puppis November 14, 2007 Event: Nova in Puppis Discovered By: Alfredo Jose Serra Pereira, Carnaxide, Portugal Discovery Date: 2007 November 14.23 UT (JD 2454418.73) Discovery Magnitude: approximately 7.0 (visual estimate) Position: R.A. = 8h 16.2m Decl. = -34o 15' (J2000) from Pereira. RA = 08h 16m 18.01s Decl. = -34o 15' 24.1" (J2000) by J.E. McGaha, Tucson, Arizona, measured with CCD imaging on November 14.243 - 14.256 UT. RA = 08h 16m 17.99s Decl. = -34o 15' 25.0" (J2000) by J. Young and H. Rhoades, Table Mountain Observatory, near Wrightwood, California, measured with CCD imaging on November 14.47 - 14.48 UT. Pereira reports nothing at this position on November 6.23, 7.22, 8.23, 10.23, and 11.22 UT down to a limiting visual magnitude of approximately 8. McGaha reports a CR magnitude of 6.5 on November 14.411 (JD 2454418.91), measured relative to USNO-A2.0. Young reports a visual magnitude estimate of 6.4 on November 14.47 (JD 2454418.97) AAVSO Charts(s): charts for this object may be generated using VSP on the AAVSO website: http://www.aavso.org/observing/charts/vsp/index.html?pickname=Nova%20Puppis%202007 Notes: J. Young (Table Mountain Obs.) also reports that a red image of the field from the Digitized Sky Survey contains a point source at an approximate magnitude of 20. Spectra have not yet been published so the nova type is not yet known. Congratulations to Alfredo Jose Serra Pereira on his latest nova discovery! Good observing, Matthew Templeton Staff Astronomer
