NOVA AQUILAE 2009
The Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams announces in Electronic
Telegram (CBET) No. 2075 (Daniel W. E. Green, ed.) that Koichi
Nishiyama,
Kurume, Fukuoka-ken, Japan, and Fujio Kabashima, Miyaki-cho, Saga-ken,
Japan, report their discovery of a possible nova in Aquila at
magnitude
10.9 on two 40-second unfiltered CCD frames taken on Dec. 14.398 and
14.399
UT. Confirming unfiltered CCD frames taken around Dec. 14.408 show the
object at magnitude 10.9.
Coordinates: 19:14:09.73 +15:16:34.7 (equinox 2000.0)
Nothing is visible at this position on their frames taken on Dec.
6.417 down
to magnitude 13.7 and 7.412 down to 13.6.
The AAVSO advise that finder charts may be plotted by entering
'Nova Aql 2009' at the URL:
http://www.aavso.org/observing/charts/vsp/
By calling a smaller field, say of 30 arc minutes with limiting
magnitude of 13 should ensure some comparison star values are suited
to
the current brightness of the nova.
After peaking around magnitude 10 the nova is fading and is now just
below mag 11.

KT ERIDANUS
This nova discovered on Nov. 25 almost reached mag 8 but has quickly
faded and is now around mag 10. However, is does have a lower
declination but may be found at R.A. = 04:47:54.21 Decl.
= -10:10:43.1 (equinox 2000.0). A chart can be plotted as above but
by entering KT Eri.
Please submit any observations of either or both object to both TA
(http://www.theastronomer.org) and the VSS Director.
This e-bulletin has been prepared using the TA E-Circular 2604 and
AAVSO Special Notice #184.
