Notes:
a. Announced on IAU CBAT Central Bureau Electronic Telegram 3542 (Daniel W. E. Green, ed.).

b. Nova Sco 2013 was designated PNV J17335943-3606216 when it was posted on the CBAT TOCP webpage (http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/unconf/tocp.html).

c. Confirmed by discoverers on frames taken around 2013 June 03.6728 UT, using a Meade 200R 0.40-m f/9.8 reflector (+SBIG STL1001E camera).

d. Additional confirmation reports by 1) Ernesto Guido and Nick Howes, June 03.7 UT, magnitude 11.5U, remotely through the 0.50-m f/6.8 astrograph + CCD + f/4.5 focal reducer of ITelescope network (Siding Spring, AU), their animation showing a comparison between confirmation image and the archive POSS2/UKSTU plate (R Filter - 1996): http://bit.ly/15vP8LS, their annotated confirmation image: http://bit.ly/14paBn2; 2) Akira Takao (Kitakyushu-City, Japan), June 03.6278, 11.9C, using 100mm F4 lens and unfiltered STL-6303E; 3) Koichi Itagaki (Teppo-cho, Yamagata, Japan), 03.757, 11.1U (image at http://www.k-itagaki.jp/images/sco.jpg; 4) Seiichiro Kiyota (Tsukuba, Japan), June 03.5886, 10.39 Ic using with 85mm camera lens (F2.0) + ST-10XME CCD camera.

e. The discoverers report nothing was visible down to magnitude 13.4 on their survey frames taken 2013 May 17.694 and 30.647 UT, nor on 2MASS or USNO-B1.0. The nearest star in USNO B1.0 has position end figures 59.515s, 25.68", distance 4.2", magnitudes R2=18.18, I=17.4.

Congratulations to Koichi Nishiyama and Fujio Kabashima on their discovery!
