The slow nova V5558 Sgr appears to be close to orbrighter than m(vis) = 7.6, and brighter comparisonstars than the initial bright limit of the chartmay be required. If necessary, please use the two additional comparison stars for this object that may be obtained by plotting a 240-arcmin chart with VSP:

The brighter of the two new comparison stars(HD 167771) extends the sequence for V5558 Sgr to m(vis)=6.5. As before, both visual and instrumental photometric observations are
urgently requested as this object continues to exhibit anomalous behavior.
Coordinates for V5558 Sgr are:
RA 18:10:18.26, Dec -18:46:51.9 (J2000)
Please report observations to the AAVSO as 1804-18 V5558 SGR.
