Looks like a (reddened) nova that erupted on 2019 October 28.
Spectroscopy and multiband-photometry (also precise astrometry) are urgently required.

Clear skies,

Indeed a red new star, Thank

Indeed a red new star, Thank you Patrick for this new nova, the 3rd I saw in Sct

2017 : ASASSN-17HX and Nova Sct 2018

I just made two visual observations:

m +9.34 - 2019/10/29/18/00 UT

m +9.32 - 2019/10/29/18/55 UT

Sorry I'm just a visual observer

Nova brighter last night

The new nova brightened to mag 8.6 as of last night's observations from ROAD  observatory, BVRI data submitted to the AAVSO.

I think more and brighter comp stars are needed for this target.

Still brightening the nova

I've just wrote in the PACA_Transients facebook group, that it seems, still ASASSN-19aad is brightening. On my images made this morning around 01:45UT (JD 2458786.57324) using T20 of itelescope.net at Mayhill NM the nova was around. 8.7V.

Clear skies,

V0659 Scuti

Hello all!

I observed (around 2458787.57 JD) V0659 Scuti remotely with iTelescope T5 and added my observations to the AAVSO database: V ≈ 8.4 mag., B ≈ 9.95 mag.

I am attaching the photo (15+30+60 sec. exposure time, FOV = 60.6 x 40.8 arcmin, V band).

Best regards,

V0659 Scuti

Based on my recent observations (2458787.94 JD) from Yuzhno-Morskoy (near Nakhodka, Russia), star brightness decreases. It was about 8.77 TG (Canon EOS 60D, 135mm lens, exposure time 8 sec., ISO-6400).
I am attaching one of the photographs.

Nova Sct 2019 fading quickly

According to latest observations, the nova is fading quickly. Recently it's fainter than 10 visually. Unfortunately the wheather here in Hungary is hopeless now :(
I hope the cataclysmic guys from other parts of the planet can regularly observe V659 Sct.

Clear skies,

Continuing observations

hi Robert,

I continue observations of this nova and last nights data are in the AAVSo database.

The V magnitude is about 9.8.

Hallo everybody,

I am Paolo from Italy and I am a new aavso member. I am just e bit confused regarding the extention used to submit spectra files: they should be ascii or fits file?

I've been following this nova from October 29th and i would like to show you a comparison made between November 8th and 10th when the nova still showed a diffuse spectrum behavior. Please, the following it's just an image file.

I hope there is good weather tonight

V659 Sct (N Sct 2019) 238 days post maximum

B & V photometry obtained with the NSU/UVA Fan Mountain 24-inch + CCD 238 days since maximum gives

2459025.8  V 18.676 (0.029) and B 19.315 (0.042)

No other measurements have been uploaded to the AAVSO db since last observing season other than one rather discordant "visual" estimate.
