NOVA SCORPII 1997
M. Cavagna, Sormano, Italy, reports the following precise position
of Liller's possible nova, from a CCD image obtained on June 7.011
UT (0.5-m L):  R.A. = 17h54m11s.22,Decl. = -30o02'53".0 (2000).
The Digital Sky Survey shows no definite object at this location,
though a USNO A1.0 star of mag R = 18.7, B = 19.0 has position end
figures 11s.53, 54".3.
M. Fujii, Okayama; and H. Kawakita, Osaka, Japan, report that
spectroscopic observations (resolution about 1.2 nm; slit size 424"
x 7") on June 7.62 UT show strong, broad H-alpha emission (FWHM
about 3200 km/s; 0.28-m reflector, resolution 550km/s).
Visual magnitude estimates:  June 7.15 UT, 10.1 (A. Pereira,
Cabo da Roca, Portugal); 7.991, 9.8 (K. Hornoch, Lelekovice, Czech
Republic); 8.12, 10.9 (Pereira); 7.99, 10.4 (M. Plsek, Lelekovice,
Czech Republic). (IAUC 6678)
