(cba:news) V407 Lupi and other southern targets (Joe Patterson) [2017-08-20T13:04:22Z]


Hi CBAers,

Our first look at this 2016 nova, from Gordon and Berto, shows that the 15th magnitude remnant has a healthy and stable 9-minute pulsation in it. And also something around 3 hours. Thus it becomes our prime evening southern target. Let's get all suitable firepower on this star before the Sun takes it away.
Here's Fred Walter's page on this star:

For the south, good follow-on targets are CC Scl, ES Cet, and this star from Koji's webpage (one of the Thorstensen-Halpern IP candidates; sorry, it's 17.7)
