Jingyuan Zhao and Weihao Wang, report the discovery of a possible nova. Discovery image using Johnson V filter, exposured 300-s, obtained by 0.5-m f/6.8 Lulin-ASIAA Telescope for Transients and Education (LATTE) at Lulin Observatory (D35) around 2023 Oct. 21.62834 UT, mag = 21.0 V. The transient is also visible on another Johnson R filter image taken by the same instrument (2023 Oct. 21.63191, exposured 300-s, mag = 20.5 R), but no object can be seen at this location on the PanSTARRS DR1 image. We also reported the transient to TNS, and it was named AT 2023vpw (see https://www.wis-tns.org/object/2023vpw ).
