1.47617 -23.28730 galactic Sgr Second-epoch detections are separated by 0.2" and 12.0 pix
The object was found in VSX
25" SSS_J193001.3-372152
Type: EW
# Max. Min./Amp. JD0 Period
16.100 CV Y 0.330 CV 0.290441000000
NOTE: the measured brightness disagrees with the variable-star record above, but is consistent with the asteroid identification below - so this is likely the asteroid rather than an outburst of the variable.
The object was found in astcheck.

This value should be representative of the faintest stars clearly visible in the image. The brighter of the limiting magnitude estimates for the two second-epoch images is reported here.

This value should be representative of the faintest stars clearly visible in the image. The brighter of the limiting magnitude estimates for the two second-epoch images is reported here. The second estimate is the 80th percentile of the magnitude distribution of stars detected on all four images. This value is representative of the faintest object that may enter the candidate transients list. The hard cut-off for the candidate transients is 15.5 mag.
