[Aavso-photometry] V5580 Sgr

[Robert J. Modic]

This nova was discovered late last fall just before conjunction, so there aren't 
many observations of it.  I imaged the nova field yesterday to see if it was still 
visible and it was (mag ~13.5V).  This would be a good time to get better 
astrometry and photometry of the nova before it fades.  Its rough position is:

18:22:01.50, -28:02:39.6 (2000.0)

Arne,

There is only a Tycho and ASAS sequence for this star, so this might be a 
good field to observe at SRO to obtain a BVRI sequence for the nova.
