V1494 AQUILAE
The above designation has been assigned to Nova Aquilae 1999 No 2
by the GCVS team.

G.M.Hurst reports a substantial further brightening when an
estimate of magnitude 4.1 was made with the naked eye on 1999
Dec 2.803UT.

The following preliminary TA Sequence was taken from E.W.C. 164
issued on Dec 2:

Those objects listed as appearing in the NSV (suspected variables)
are of very small amplitude and can still be used as comparisons
whilst the nova is bright.

SUPERNOVA 1999fz IN UGC 8164
T. Puckett, A. Langoussis, and D. George, Mountain Town, GA,
report their discovery of an apparent supernova (mag 15.2) on an
unfiltered CCD frame (limiting mag 20.1) taken with the Puckett
Observatory 0.60-m automated supernova patrol telescope on Nov.
18.40 UT.  SN 1999fz is located at R.A. = 13h02m16s.34, Decl. =
+78o32'29".4 (equinox 2000.0), which is 2".0 west and 1".3 south of
the centre of UGC 8164.  SN 1999fz was also present on unfiltered
CCD frames taken on Nov. 21.98, but it does not appear on a Palomar
Sky survey image (limiting mag 20.0) taken on 1952 Oct. 22.
