Below is an image I took of RV Cas (00:52:42.78, +47:24:56.4) last night at 2015-01-31T03:36:48
I'm curious about the object shown by the red arrow. I checked the MPC database and nothing turned up. This position appears to coincide with a faint star in VSP. Is this an outburst?
Thanks,
Blake

Hi Blake,
It's a Galaxy - NGC 278. GUIDE 9 software has it at magnitude 11.5.
The star is A2 1350 00874968 V=11.1, B=12.0 (also from GUIDE 9)

Ok thanks!
