[Aavso-photometry] Request for confirmation observations near TT Boo

[John A. Blackwell]

Hello,

Last night I took a single CCD frame of the area surrounding TT Boo. TT Boo was not in outburst, though there was a new star-like
object in the frame just to the north. I have checked it against DSS and asteroid potentials and neither have any explanation. It is
a potential nova, but I would like to request observations from those with clear weather (I am overcast here in NH, USA).  If
possible, please take images in B and V and report back to me and Aaron Price or Elizabeth Waagen at the AAVSO.

>From last night:

JD:  2454258.553
Comp Stars: 12.9, 9.3, 10.6, 12.8
Chart: AAVSO 030805 TT BOO
S-to-N:  29.104
Recorded CCD-V Magnitude:  12.598
 
Year 2000 coordinates:
RA 14 57 44.73
DEC +40 46 15.4

Thank you!
