Nova in NGC 185

Modjaz and Li also report the discovery with KAIT of an apparent nova on unfiltered images taken on July 13.5 (mag about 18.7) and 14.5 UT (mag about 18.2). The new object is located at R.A. = 0h39m07s.02, Decl. = +48o20'34".4 (equinox 2000.0), which is about 93" east and 20" north of the diffuse nucleus of NGC 185. A KAIT image of the same field on July 11.5 (limiting mag about 19.0) showed nothing at the position of the nova.
