>Event: Nova in Scorpius
>
>Discovered by: K. Nishiyama (Kurume, Fukuoka-ken, Japan) and F. Kabashima
> (Miyaki-cho, Saga-ken, Japan); Y. Sakurai (Mito, Ibaraki-ken,
> Japan); and Guoyou Sun (Qufu, Shandong, China) and Xing Gao
> (Urumqi, Xinjiang, China)
>
>Discovery date: 2008 September 02.4594 UTC (JD 2454711.9594)
>
>Discovery Magnitude: m = 9.5 (unfiltered)
>
>Position: RA = 17h 57m 32.93s , Dec = -30d 43m 10.1s (from Nishiyama
> and Kabashima)

>Charts: Finder charts for this object may be plotted by entering the
>coordinates above into VSP: http://www.aavso.org/observing/charts/vsp/
>The sequence was prepared by M. Morel.
>
>Notes: This object was announced as a nova in IAU Circular 8972 (Daniel
>W.E. Green, editor). This is a classical nova, as determined by
>low-resolution spectra by M. Fujii (Ibara, Okayama, Japan) and H. Naito
>(Nishi-Harima Astron. Obs.) on Sept 3.49 and Sept 5.47 respectively.
>This object has been given the formal variable star designation
>"V1309 Sco". Please see IAUC 8972 for complete details on discovery
>and confirmation.

>The following observations have been submitted to the AAVSO since the
>issuance of AAVSO Special Notice #124 (2008 September 03): JD
