1817-18 Nova Sagittarii 1996 [V4361 Sgr]
Active Dates: July 11, 1996 – Aug. 6, 1996
Abstract:
Discovery of a nova by Yukio Sakurai, Mito, Ibaragi-ken, Japan, on July 11.590 UT, at photographic magnitude 10, using Fuji G400 film and a 300-mm f/2.8 camera lens. An additional exposure on July 12 also shows the nova at magnitude 10. Spectroscopic confirmation by R. M. Wagner, P. Martini, S. G. Starrfield, and G. D. Schmidt on Aug. 4.221 UT indicates that N Sgr 96 is a relatively slow nova in its early decline phase.
