1. Event: Nova Sagittarii 2014 = PNV J18250860-2236024 [V5666 Sgr]
Discovered by: Sigeru Furuyama (Tone-machi, Ibaraki-ken, Japan) and reported by S. Nakano (Sumoto, Japan)
Discovery magnitude: unfiltered CCD magnitude 8.7, using a 200-mm f/2.8 camera lens + BJ-42L camera
Discovery date: 2014 Jan. 26.857 UT
Coordinates: R.A. 18 25 08.60 Decl. = -22 36 02.4 (2000.0)
Spectra: Low-resolution spectra obtained by A. Arai (Nishi-Harima Astronomical Observatory, University of Hyogo, Japan) on 2014 Jan. 30.87 UT indicate that the object is a Fe II-type classical nova past maximum. Spectroscopy details may be found in CBET 3802 (see Note a below).
Observing recommendations: Nova Sgr 2014, which had faded to 11.5 V, has brightened to visual magnitude 9.8. Observations of all types (visual, CCD, DSLR, spectroscopy) are strongly encouraged in following the evolution of this nova.
Charts: Charts for Nova Sgr 2014 may be created using the AAVSO Variable Star Plotter (VSP) at http://www.aavso.org/vsp.

2. Erratum in AAVSO Alert Notice 496
In AAVSO Alert Notice 496, Mati Morel (MMAT, Thornton, NSW, Australia) was credited with the discovery of the 1989 outburst of V745 Sco. The discoverer was William Liller (LIW, Vina del Mar, Chile), who observed V745 Sco on 1989 July 30.08 UT at magnitude 9.7 (PROBLICOM discovery using 2415 film with orange filter). Sincere apologies to Bill!
