Prediscovery Rc photometry of this object by B. Dintinjana, from images obtained in the course of Crni Vrh Observatory Wide Field Sky Survey with the 105 mm f.l., f/4 camera lens + AP16E CCD + Rc photometric filter by B. Mikuz, S. Maticic and J. Skvarc. For each night, photometry was performed on several co-added 60 second consecutive exposures. Object was not detected on Mar. 29 and 30, but is clearly visible on Apr. 7 and 8 co-added images posted at http://www.observatorij.org/vstars/PNVHer/PNHer2014.jpg --2014 Mar 29.979UT, Rc = <13.7; Mar 30.967, Rc = <14.0; Apr 07.034, Rc = 13.2 +/- 0.2; Apr 08.047, Rc = 13.7 +/- 0.3. B. Dintinjana and H. Mikuz, Crni Vrh Observatory.



2014 04 10.944

This transient was observed on 2014 04 10.944 by Gianluca Masi, Francesca Nocentini and Patrick Schmeer, remotely using the 17"-f/6.8 corrected Dall-Kirkham robotic unit part of the Virtual Telescope Project facility, at Bellatrix Astronomical Observatory in Ceccano, Italy. 40-seconds exposures, unfiltered, show the source at mag. 13.0 (R mags for the reference stars from UCAC-4). We also performed astrometry, getting the following end figures: 24.12; 32.3 (J2000.0, mean residuals of 0.2" on both axes).



2014 04 09.755

Vladimir Lipunov reports the discovery of a possible Nova by Vladimir Vladimirov using MASTER-Amur robotic telescope (0.40-m f/2.5 reflector + 4Kx4K CCD) and auto-detection system on the unfiltered survey images (60-sec exposures, limit 18.0m) obtained on 2014-04-09.755 UT. The new object (unfiltered magnitude 12.8) is located at R.A. = 17h59m24s.12, +25o20'31".7 (J2000.0). The object is seen in 9 images. We have reference image without OT on 2012-08-20.593 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 18.3m. The object was not present on MASTER-Kislovodsk images obtained on 2014-03-16.024 UT (limit 18.0m). MASTER-Amur discovery and reference images are available at: http://master.sai.msu.ru/static/OT/175924.12252031.7.png (ref. ATel 6059, http://www.astronomerstelegram.org/?read=6059 )



2014 04 10.984

P. Berardi, C. Buil, R. Leadbeater (ARAS Spectroscopy Group), obtained low-resolution optical spectra of this transient. The blue continuum with a relatively faint emission of H-alpha suggest that the object could be a dwarf nova outburst of a WZ Sge cataclysmic. P. Berardi spectrum (Apr, 10.984): http://quasar.teoth.it/html/spectra/PNVJ17592412+2520317.jpg C.

2014 04 04 11.4623

L. Elenin (Lyubertsy, Russia) and I. Molotov (Moscow, Russia) confirm an optical transient PNV J17592412+2520317. Object visible on 3x150sec images remotely taken at ISON-NM Observatory (Mayhill, NM, USA) with 0.4-m f/3 telescope + CCD (KAF09000) on Apr. 04 11.4623, 2014. Object located at 17h 59m 24s.13 +/- 0".07, +25d 20' 32".5 +/- 0".07 (UCAC-4) with magnitude 13.8R (mag. limit ~19.0m). Nothing is visible at this position on the POSS and POSSII images.
