Shigehisa Fujikawa, Kan'onji, Kagawa, Japan, reports his discovery of this TCP (mag 13.3) in Scl on a CCD frame taken on 2017 Aug 05.7854 (limiting mag 14.3) using a Minolta F 3.5 f 120mm lens. He confirmed the object (position end figures 25s.13, 55".7; mag 12.8) on another frame taken on 2017 Aug 05.8074 with a Pentax D 10cm F 4 lens. The object is located very close to a star (Rmag ~19.4) which has a star designation USNO-B1.0 0546-0004974 = NOMAD1 0546-0005009 .

The UV source GALEX J003325.1-351855 (position end figures 25.10s, 55.9"; FUV= 20.46, NUV= 20.29 mag) is only 0.4" from the second position reported by Fujikawa-san. Presumably a dwarf nova outburst with an amplitude of at least 6 magnitudes. --- Patrick Schmeer (Saarbrücken-Bischmisheim, Germany)
