| Proposal | I have recently discovered PNV J17261813-3809354 which has now spectroscopic confirmation that it is a bright classical nova. Hopefully it will be entered into the VSX in the next day or so. As part of the AAVSO's long term monitoring of novae, I'd like to use one of the BSM's to intensively follow PNV J17261813-3809354 as it evolves over the coming months. I would request BVRI photometry at a nightly cadence. As of Feb 11th, the nova is at it's peak of mag 7.5 and will presumably start fading soon. All data will be transformed and uploaded to the AID. |

This has now been designated V1723 Sco and is in VSX and there is a comparison star sequence in place.

Has this been allocated to a BSM telescope yet? This is a time sensitive request since the nova is fading relatively quickly.
