From IAUC 8928-
V2468 CYGNI = NOVA CYGNI 2008
N. N. Samus, Institute of Astronomy, Russian Academy of Sciences, informs us that this nova (cf. IAUC 8927) has been assigned the variable-star designation V2468 Cyg.
M. M. Beaky, Truman State University, reports that a CCD spectrum (range 450-850 nm, resolution 0.4 nm/pixel) of V2468 Cyg, acquired with the 0.36-m telescope at the Truman Observatory on Mar. 11.46 UT, shows H_alpha (FWHM = 790 km/s) and H_beta lines to be prominent in emission, and numerous Fe II emission lines are also visible. Thus, the nova belongs to the 'Fe II' class of
Williams (1992, A.J. 104, 725).
CCD photometry of V2468 Cyg by K. Hornoch, Ondrejov, Czech Republic, with a 0.65-m reflector: Mar. 10.175 UT, V = 8.27 +/- 0.01, B-V = +1.10 +/- 0.03, V-I = +1.52 +/- 0.02 (comparison star HIP 98323). Visual magnitude estimates, in part from E. O. Waagen, AAVSO: Mar. 9.417, 7.7 (J. E. Bortle, Stormville, NY, U.S.A.); 10.187, 8.3 (Hornoch); 12.362, 8.1 (M. Bradbury, Greenwood, IN, U.S.A.); 13.452, 9.2 (L. Shotter, Uniontown, PA, U.S.A.); 15.020, 9.0 (B. Granslo, Fjellhamar, Norway); 17.443, 8.6 (Shotter); 19.056, 9.6 (Granslo).
