Koichi Nishiyama, Kurume,Japan and Fujio Kabashima, Miyaki,Japan report a discovery of possible nova (mag.= 10.9) in Sgr on two 40-s unfiltered CCD frames taken around 2015 Feb. 12.87837UT ( limiting magnitude=13.3 ), using a 105-mm f/4 camera lens (+SBIG STL6303E camera). We have confirmed immediately the appearance of our discovery this PN on five 3-s unfiltered CCD frames taken around 2015 Feb 12.891UT ( limiting magnitude=16.6 ), using a Meade 200R 0.40-m f/9.8 reflector (+SBIG STL1001E camera). (lens magnitude of referred catalogue Hipparcos, others reference catalogue GSC-ACT) Nothing is visible at this location on one past survey frames taken on 2015 Feb 02.887 UT(limiting mag.= 12.5) nor on DSS, USNO-B1.0, We have checked in Minor Planets. nearest star in USNO B1.0 has position end figures 24s979, 35"69, distance 2"6, magnitudes B2=15.40 R2=14.39 I=14.66

I took confirmation image of this PNV with 0.43-m f/6.8 CDK astrograph + FLI PL16803 CCD at Siding Spring Observatory site of iTelescope.NET (NSW, Australia), remotely. Photometry results were V=11.16 and Ic=10.47. Position end figures were 25.15 and 34.66 in RA. and Dec.
