Alert Notice 381: Second possible nova in Ophiuchus - Nova Oph 2008 No. 2
Active Dates: June 2, 2008 – June 2, 2008
Abstract:
Second (Possible) Nova in Ophiuchus in 2008 - N OPH 2008 NO. 2 discovered by K. Nishiyama and F. Kabashima on May 31, 2008, with a discovery magnitude of 11.3. The position is R.A. = 17:33:29.67 Decl. = -27:01:16.4.
Justification:
Multiple confirmations were reported after the object was posted on the CBAT unconfirmed objects webpage. Observations of the field prior to the current outburst indicated no object visible at those coordinates, the faintest of which (UK Schmidt Telescope red plates) showed no object down to 20th magnitude on 1991 August 11. The discoverers add that nothing is visible at this position on Digitized Sky Survey red images. NSV 22564 is located some 2' away.
