PNV J17261813-3809354 - VSX and comp stars

This nova in Sco has been submitted to VSX, and the AAVSO Sequence Team will be selecting comparison stars as soon as possible, after which finder charts with comp stars can be made using the AAVSO Variable Star Plotter (VSP).

We'll post here (and in the thread in the Time Sensitive Alerts forum) when the sequence has been added and charts can be created.

Good observing,
