From VSNET-ALERT:
Akira Takao reported that he has found a possible
nova in Scutum. The object was present on CCD image(s)
taken last night. The object was reported to be
at mag 10.3 (CCD unfiltered).

The location of the object is 18h 32m.1, -06o 43'.6
(J2000.0).

The report is under examination at the CBAT.

The presence of the new object is confirmed on the
most recent ASAS-3 image, which was not apparently
detected automatically.

Congratulations to Takao-san!

Any idea on its future magnitude Keith?

It was visually confirmed at magnitude 11.8 at 6 o'clock this morning from the states, so in reality, this is not a good one to observe, maybe it will hit mag.9 if it's on the rise, or maybe it's fading already, and so a fast nova.

Just worthy of note really.

Mag 11.8? :shock:

That'd blind me

Thanks for the heads up Keith

Yep, just got this too from vsnet, maybe it'll brighten a little further? :idea:
I'll try to observe this tonight, but the clouds are here
