Koichi Nishiyama, Kurume,Japan and Fujio Kabashima, Miyaki,Japan report a discovery of TCPobject (mag.= 12.2) in Sgr on two 40-s unfiltered CCD frames taken around 2016 Mar. 16.84493 UT ( limiting magnitude=13.5 ), using a 135-mm f/4 camera lens (+FLI 09000 camera). We have confirmed immediately the appearance of our discovery this TCPobject on five 3-s unfiltered CCD frames taken around 2016 Mar 16.85167 UT ( limiting magnitude=17.3 ), using a 0.50-m f/6.8 reflector (+FLI 1001E camera). (lens magnitude of referred catalogue Hipparcos, others reference catalogue GSC-ACT) Nothing is visible at this location on two past survey frames taken on 2016 Mar 02.858 UT(limiting mag.= 12.7 ) and 14.844 UT (limiting mag.= 13.2) nor on DSS, USNO-B1.0, We have checked in Minor Planets. nearest star in USNO B1.0 has position end figures 18s322, 14"97, distance 2"7, magnitudes R1=16.12 I=15.95

I took confirmation image of this transient object with 0.50-m f/4.5 CDK astrograph + FLI-PL11002M CCD of iTelescope.NET at Mayhill, NM, USA, remotely. Photometry results were B=11.83, V=11.92, Rc=11.95 and Ic=12.06. Spectroscopy will be encourage to reveal nature of this object as it has blue color. It might be CVs rather than classical nova.

Kazuya Ayani, Bisei Astronomical Observatory (BAO), Ibara, Okayama, Japan, reports that a low-resolution spectrogram (range 400-800 nm; resolution 0.5 nm at H-alpha) of this TCP was obtained with the BAO 1.01-m telescope. It shows H-beta, H-gamma, H-delta absorption lines on a blue continuum. Presence of H-alpha line is not clear probably because the absortion is filled with the emission. These imply that it may be a dwarf nova rather than a classical nova. The spectrum can be viewed via website URL http://www.bao.city.ibara.okayama.jp/astro/2016/tcp/TCP_J18001854-3533149_Mar20.png.
