Discovered by Seiji Ueda, Kushiro, Hokkaido, Japan, who found this star on three frames (limit mag.= 14.1) taken by Canon EOS 6D digital camera + 200-mm f/3.2 lens, who writes position was measured on three frames taken 10-cm f/6.3 reflector and this star seems to be identical with a star 1246-0014421 on USNO-B1.0 (position end figures 09s.72, 36".1). Nothing is visible at this location on the frames taken on 2019 December 6 and 9 UT with same instrument.
