B. Dintinjana and H. Mikuz report the discovery of a new variable object (mag 15.8) by J. Vales on four unfiltered CCD images (bandpass roughly equivalent to the R band) taken on 2011 Nov. 18.051-18.095 UT with the 60-cm f/3.3 Cichocki reflector in the course of the Comet and Asteroid Search Program (PIKA) at Crni Vrh Observatory. The new object is located at R.A. = 06h11m28s.00, Decl. = +40o41'08".7 (equinox 2000.0). Image http://www.observatorij.org/vstars/TCP20111118/TCP20111118.jpg Nothing is visible at this location on archival PIKA images, obtained on 6 nights between 2006 Sep. 30 and 2009 Feb. 28 with limiting magnitudes about 19.0-19.5. Also, nothing is visible at this position on several Digitized Sky Survey red and blue images from the Palomar Sky Survey.

Object detected at position end figures 27.93, 09.0 (UCAC3). Magnitude 16.7 U +/- 0.1. Limiting magnitude 18.0 . Average of 10 x 60-sec images. Nothing visible at this location on DSS. Observer: R. A. Koff, Bennett, Colorado USA (H09). Image posted at: http://antelopehillsobservatory.org/SNpictures/TCPJ06112800+4041087final.jpg

D. Denisenko (IKI, Moscow), V. Gerke and S. Korotkiy (Ka-Dar observatory, Russia) report on the results of observations with the 40-cm f/8 Djigit telescope + STL-11000M CCD of Ka-Dar Observatory's TAU Station (Nizhniy Arkhyz, Karachay-Cherkessia, Russia). Forty 120-sec unfiltered exposures were obtained between 2011 Nov. 19.93 and Nov. 20.01 UT. Position (average of 8 measurements): 06 11 28.00 +40 41 08.8. Light curve is showing variations (orbital hump) with 0.12m amplitude (16.46-16.58m) and a very preliminary 0.056d period. Object is not visible on six DSS plates and eight Palomar-NEAT images from 2001 Dec. 20 and 2002 Jan. 05, as well as on the combination of them (limiting mag about 22.5).
