Koichi Nishiyama, Kurume,Japan and Fujio Kabashima, Miyaki,Japan report a discovery of possible nova (mag.= 10.3) in Cep on two 40-s unfiltered CCD frames taken around 2013 Feb. 02.4119 UT ( limiting magnitude=13.5 ), using a 105-mm f/4 camera lens (+SBIG STL6303E camera). We have confirmed immediately the appearance of our discovery this PN on five 3-s unfiltered CCD frames taken around 2013 Feb 02.4327 UT ( limiting magnitude=17.5 ), using a Meade 200R 0.40-m f/9.8 reflector (+SBIG STL1001E camera). (lens magnitude of referred catalogue Hipparcos, others reference catalogue GSC-ACT) Nothing is visible at this location on two past survey frames taken on 2013 Jan 23.411 UT(limiting mag.= 13.6) and 26.401 UT (limiting mag.= 13.6) nor on 2MASS,USNO-B1.0, but prediscover mag=11.9 Jan. 28.412 UT ( limiting magnitude = 13.7 ),. mag=11.0 Jan. 30.413 UT ( limiting magnitude = 13.5 ),. We have checked in Minor Planets. nearest star in USNO B1.0 has position end figures 04s17, 59"9, distance 8".7, magnitudes B2=17.23 R2=15.98 I=14.65

I took 2 images of this nova candidate using 0.50-m f/6.8 astrograph + FLI ProLine PL11002M CCD camera at Mayhill, NM, USA (H08, iTelescope.NET), remotely . Photomteric results are V=11.64, Rc=10.96. Object was clearly seen on my images. But please note that object was very low in the sky, just above horizon when I took images. Photometric results might be affected by high air mass. Observer: Seiichiro Kiyota (Tsukuba, Japan)

Mag.= 11.64V observed by K. Yoshimoto, Yamaguchi, Japan, from a stacked image (limit mag.= 13.7) exposed by each 20-s x 4 frames using Nikon D5000 Digital Camera + Nikon 180-mm f/2.8 lens. Magnitude were measured using Tycho2 catalog (Johnson V mag). See an image at http://orange.zero.jp/k-yoshimoto/PNV%20J23080471+6046521.jpg.

We performed some follow-up of this object remotely through the 0.43-m f/6.8 reflector + CCD of ITelescope network (MPC Code I89 - Nerpio, Spain). On our images taken on February 02.8, 2013 we can confirm the presence of an optical counterpart with unfiltered CCD magnitude 9.8 at coordinates: R.A. = 23 08 04.70, Decl.= +60 46 52.0 (equinox 2000.0; USNO-B1.0 catalogue reference stars).

PNV observed at coordinates 23 08 04.69 +60 46 51.6 (UCAC3). Magnitude 10.64 U +/- 0.02 . Limiting magnitude 16.3. Position and magnitude are average measurements from five separate images. No obvious precursor star seen on DSS. Ran one hour lightcurve, which showed slight (0.01 mag) brightening, but otherwise featureless. Observer: R. A. Koff, Antelope Hills Observatory, Bennett, Colorado USA (H09). Image posted at: http://antelopehillsobservatory.org/SNpictures/PNVJ23080471+6046521final.jpg

Mag.= 10.9V on a stacked image (limit mag.= 17.0) exposed by each 180-s x 3 frames using 0.15m f/7.3 reflector + CCD (SBIG ST2000XMC One Shot Color CCD). Magnitude was measured on decomposed G-band color plane. Link to Image http://www.palette.furukawa.miyagi.jp/space/images/2013/PNinCep_130203.jpg

Kazuya Ayani, Bisei Astronomical Observatory, reports that M. Fujii (Kurashiki, Okayama, Japan) obtained a spectrogram (resolution R=650 at H alpha) of PNV J23080471+6046521 on Feb. 2.495 UT with 0.4-m telescope at the Fujii Kurosaki Observatory and found that its H-alpha and H-beta emission had P-Cyg profiles; the absorption bottom of the H-alpha profile being blueshifted by 800 km/s with respect to the emission peak. He also found emission lines of Fe II (multiplet 42, 49, 74) and Na I D, noting also that the slope of the continuum indicates heavy interstellar reddening. His spectrum is posted at the following website URL: http://otobs.org/FBO/etc/pnv_cep_20130202.gif.

Follow-up observations of this transient were performed by Gianluca Masi and Francesca Nocentini, remotely using the 17" unit part of the Virtual Telescope robotic facility, in Italy. Unfiltered CCD images shows the star at mag. 10.2, against the UCAC-4 star catalogue.
