*** Multiband and time-resolved photometry, spectroscopy, and precise astrometry are urgently required. ***
Clear skies,

Glad to help!
Do we have comps for the field? Best regards.

Sequence Now Available
Thanks, I observed this transient tonight, brillant and easy to observe. I post the estimations tomorrow.

Taken a time resolved series this evening and uploaded to AID. Possibly some variation between Vmag 10.3 and 10.4 over ~70min.
I made two estimations via Tycho magnitudes but there are quite were different, it looks like the magnitude change in 15 minutes from +/- 0.2 ??? My visual estimation was +10.4.
The stars given in the new sequence are too faint.
An interesting star indeed !
Michel
Added Brighter Comps... should have done this yesterday... I apologize
Thank you Timothy, much appreciated
Tonight visualy between 10.4 and 10.5 using your new sequence.

A low resolution R~500 spectrum taken at 20190221.814 shows a blue continuum
with no H alpha line and H beta and higher Balmer lines in weak absorption.

Photometry and spectroscopy indicate that TCP J06373299-0935420 is a UGWZ superoutburst.
Hello
Just as a question, I'm not specialised in spectroscopy but is it sure that this is a nova and not a SN ? There is a good galactical candidate in the neigbour, look at the photo taken by a friend (LLJA) and the references here join ?
Also, the curve decreasing is not a classical nova one, isn't it ?
Michel
Hello! I am happy to monitor TCP J06373299-0935420. How long is data typically useful after an outburst of this type? Thank you and best regards.
Mike
Hi Mike,
in principle as long as you can observe the star. You need to adjust exposure times as the stars get dimmer. Superhumps may pop up at a larger amplitude only later in the outburst. Also there might be rebrightenings etc.
So I normally follow new targets as long as I can.

Thank you!

Hello! My images from last night show a significant decrease in magnitude of TCP J06373299-0935420 of about 2 magnitudes from a day ago. I had windy conditions, and the magnitude is nearing the limits of my equipment, giving my measurements an error range about 0.2 mags in B,V, and I last night.
Tonight, I will have better conditions, and I'll be able to use longer integration times to get a better error range. Best regards.
Mike
I confirm
A friend of mine (LLJA) did this CCD estimation yesterday evening:
13.03.2019 - 20h30 UTC
Filter Baader red magnitude 14.224
Filter Baader bleue magnitude 14.875
For my 250mm it's off. Maybe a hub in a while ...
