The revised e-chart to (b) format reflects this new designation and the location of the variable has also been amended to take into account astrometry by Nick James and others. The observational scatter on this object is the largest we have ever noted for a nova. Whilst the nova is very reddened due to heavy obscuration in this area of the galactic plane, it is essential full estimates are submitted on a common sequence. Please now quote N/043.02 with future reports. \\\\\\V1548 Aql b nova found by Mike Collins S,400,6,S -C,19.1242, 11.7358,2000 -T,Nova Seq:Tycho+GSC+Henden -S,N/043.02 O,204,195,10.9,(18?
