From 45 estimates so far received there is a suggestion of a 'dip' on Nov 25 to mag 8.0 and possibly a similar dip on Nov 16. The brightest estimates are 6.9 but no clear date of maximum has yet emerged. A.R.Klemola, Lick Observatory, has measured the following precise position from a Lick astrograph plate: RA 19h02m32.151s DEC +21 41'39.18" (1950). He suggests that the prenova may be a star of B=19 on PSS. IAUC4504 Guy M Hurst
