Abstract:

We report the discovery of a possible nova in M31 on four consecutive dithered stacked R filter CCD images, obtained on 2007 September 02.09, with the 1.3m Ritchey Chretien f/7.5 telescope at Skinakas Observatory, Crete, Greece, using an Andor DZ436-BV CCD Camera (with a Marconi 2k x 2k chip with 13.5µm sq. pixels). The R magnitude of the object was 18.1. On 2007 September 03.09, the object was again detected with the same instrument setup, with an R magnitude of 18.2.
