Unconfirmed bright object(?) in Sgr, please confirm!</DIV></DIV>

FAMILY="SANSSERIF">New object confirmed at position 19 01 09.34 -22 00 05.5 at
09/21/2002 1:35 UT. Position based on plate solution with 20 GSC 1.1
stars. V magnitude greater than 6.3 based on magnitudes in TheSky
software. My 20 second exposure was in saturation. I compared two V
band images to DSS1.V.SERC V band epoch 1987.59 image. The new object is
stellar in appearance and is not present on the DSS1 image. I will
continue with photometry and spectrophotometry and report observations when they
are reduced.<BR><BR>Regards,<BR>Doug West</FONT> </FONT></BODY></HTML>
