1 Schmeer, Patrick A spectrum obtained on 2021 February 19.3 UT is that of a nova in the nebular phase. H-alpha shows a double peaked emission and is characterized by a FWZI of around 5500 km/s (2021ATel14413....1K).
2 Otero, Sebastian Alberto VSP Note: 18.3 mag. star 2.2" to the NNW.
3 Schmeer, Patrick Likely a fast Galactic nova. Unfortunately no spectroscopic confirmation is available. Due to sparse coverage date and brightness of the optical peak are unknown.
4 Schmeer, Patrick Detected by Gaia in 2015 at G= 18.1; BP= 17.7; RP= 16.9 but barely visible in DSS images.
5 Otero, Sebastian Alberto Position and maximum magnitude from J. Hambsch (vsnet-alert 14809 and 14810). Minimum magnitude is that of the closest star to the reported position -USNO-B1.0 0320-0171500-, 2" away at 09 41 01.76 -57 59 53.8 (J2000.0).
